Construction of Memory
We were playing a game on the way to school of naming things we could see (a game of concentration apparently, clapping was involved). As we were passing a construction site I said "two by four" and surprised myself. Of course it's actually toobafou if I'd wanted to sound like an expert. I was briefly back in my Grandad's garden learning how to use a saw. I believe you let the saw do the work, keep it at an angle and it shouldn't be noisy.*
Ahh just looked again on the way back and it's actually two by six I saw.
*This was probably one by two
**Pretty sure the standard is that everyone must talk about two by four for approximately 1 year of every childhood. Looks like I've just entered that era, so I'd better do some research.
