A/N I am writing this chapter while taking a break from homework (AKA avoiding homework).
I had this conversation with my friends and teacher today in class :) (well, some of it is)
Edward, Bella, Carlisle
Why is Rhode Island called Rhode Island when it's not an island? And Hawaii is just called Hawaii when it's actually an island?
Rhode Island I'm not quite sure, but 1. Hawaii is a string of islands, and 2. Hawaii is easier to say than the Hawaiian Islands.
1. Rhode would be easier to say that Rhode Island, and it's not even an island!
2. You're a nerd. :P
I don't know why they call Rhode Island an island, and I am not a nerd thank you very much.
Nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd!
-sigh- why don't we ask Carlisle?
Good idea nerd! Oh Carlisle!!
Bella, he can't hear you. You wrote it on paper.
Oh, right. Thank you nerd!
Please stop calling me a nerd.
Whatever…..-cough-nerd-cough
I heard….read that!
-rolls eyes-
-Bella calls for Carlisle-
I've been called for?
Yes, Carlisle. Bella has a question for you.
Why is Rhode Island called Rhode Island when it's not really an island?
Well, Bella, it's because of it's geography. You would only know this if you know the land there, or are a nerd like Edward, but Rhode Island had water around it on three sides. And it has a bay right on it's border.
Hey!
Oh. That still doesn't answer my question.
-shakes head-
Meanie nerd! It doesn't make sense!
If you call me nerd one more time, I will go crazy. And it does make sense. If it's almost totally surrounded my water, it could seem like a island to pilgrims who came there and didn't know that it was, in fact, attached to land.
But if it's attached to land, than it's a pennisula! It should be called Rhode Pennisula!
That's utterly absurd Bella.
You're just jealous you didn't think of it first.
Not really.
Nerd
GAH!
