Today, I had one of those moments during indoor recess, when they are forced to occupy themselves for a half hour. Anyway, a group of my boys were playing the game Apples to Apples. I've never played, but one boy came up to me and said: "Have you ever heard of this person 'ch (as in the first should in the word chair) er? I was like, "let me see the card" It was Cher!
