This morning as AE was running out the door for the bus, she stopped and yelled:
"HEY MOM, DO YOU KNOW ANY LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE OFF THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD I CAN SHARE WITH MY CLASS?"
I realized in the abyss of useless knowledge I do have in my noggin I know absolutely NOTHING about New Hampshire, except that the capital is Concord.
Sadly the only thing I could think of was The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving which I read when I was 14, however nothing in that book is appropriate for AE to share with her 3rd grade class. It was also a made into a horrible movie starring Jodie Foster, Rob Lowe and Nastassja Kinski running around in a bear costume, I would recommend NOT putting that title on your Netflix queues.
I also let AE know the idiom is "off the top of your head" not the back.
