An actual conversation from the Nelson dinner table, as we quiz our kids on American geography (yes, we have odd ideas of fun!):
“What’s the oldest continuously inhabited English settlement in America?”
[much guessing, all wrong, some ridiculous, finally we relent and give the answer]
“Jamestown, named after the guy who paid to have the Bible translated into English.”
“Who?”
“King James, you nut. The King of England.”
“Of England? I always thought of King James as a Black guy.”
HA!!!!!!
