Brazil

No, we're not off to Brazil. Nice thought though. Just that the other day we brought home some mixed nuts to crack. Five year old Miriam came to me with one. "What's THIS?" "That's a Brazil nut. My favorite," I answered. "Oh! Why is it called a Brazil nut?" "I don't know. Maybe because it comes from Brazil," my well reasoned response. Miriam was happy enough with that, and returned to the crowd loudly cracking nuts in the other room. She went at it with gusto, probably convinced there was a good nut inside if it was my favorite. But after waiting a period, instead of hearing how she liked it there came a loud, "WELL HOW DO THE PEOPLE IN BRAZIL CRACK THESE THINGS?!!" She was back by my side with nut. It got cracked, but flunked the taste test. Miriam does not like Brazil nuts. She'd leave them to the Brazilian boars.
