Kiwi Farmer

Today, hours after bravely trying the strangely green fruit, Jared told Ryan, "When I'm 9, we should move to New Zealand and run a kiwi farm."

When he's 9? Why 9?

And no, he doesn't (or didn't) know where New Zealand is. He looked for it on a map of the United States (probably between New Jersey and New York) until Ryan pointed it out to him on a world map. I don't know if its location on the bottom of the world changed his mind.

But why would we suddenly become farmers?

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I have no idea how kiwis grow. Is it a tree? A vine maybe? And I hope I didn't err when I told Jared that they're from New Zealand. That would be supremely embarrassing. Maybe it's only the small, flightless bird that lives there?

I think we might do a little internet research tomorrow.
