Sarah was doing homework. Or maybe it was a review sheet for a test. They all look the same to me, especially now that I need reading glasses – which I wasn’t wearing.
She asked me why the teacher had put a question on the paper. I looked at it, probably harder than usual, since I still wasn’t wearing my reading glasses.
The question read:
Why do we study viruses?
Sarah said, “ Well, she knows we study them because the state educational requirements say so.”
It took me a moment to understand that Sarah had read the question literally. A very brief moment.
“No, Sarah, “we” means scientists, not “we” and I pointed at her.
