My American Girl

by Amy

Some friends of ours are renting a new apartment and needed us to take a few measurements for them.  So, Brad busted out the measuring tape.  Savannah went to help him.  This is the conversation I overheard:

Savannah:  Daddy, it's 39 3/4 inches tall.
Brad: Oh, thanks, sweetie, but I need it in centimeters.
Savannah:  I like inches better.  Why do you need centimeters?
Brad:  Most people all around the world use centimeters; only Americans use inches.  Annoying huh?
Savannah:  Yeah, everyone should change and use inches.  They're better.

I guess you can take the girl our of America, but you can't the American out of the girl!
