[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 36156, member: 57"]Among other old books I have is my grandmother's "Maury's Geography [etc.]" book published in the early 1880s. My favorite passage from it is (doing this from memory because I don't have the book in hand right now): "When you come home from school your kind mother who loves you has milk and cookies for you to eat. When Esquimaux [yes, that is the spelling in the book] children come home from school their kind mothers who love them have whale blubber for them to eat."[/QUOTE]
