North Africa

Watching the National Geographic channel is always a gamble when you have little children.  One evening, as the family sat on our bed, engrossed in the television program, Justin leaned over to whisper something in my ear.  I braced myself as a thousand possible five-year-old utterances raced up and down in my mind.  My brain was unable to settle on the most likely candidate before he spoke.

"In the fields of North Africa, wild butts roam."

I'm gonna be honest with you.  That was not even in the top five thousand.
