I had an English teacher tell me one time: “There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that read and those that don’t.” She then went on to explain that people who liked to read would read anything – the ingredients label on a candy bar before they ate it, knowing that it wasn’t good for them in the first place, but curious to read anything and everything. And then there were those who didn’t like to read and she just couldn’t imagine why.

My grandfather falls in the category of “those who like to read.” And I’ve always told him he needs two things on his bucket list:
1. Go on Wheel of Fortune (he claims he’d freeze up!) and,
2. Be an editor of a newspaper.

Not only does he love to read, his vocabulary is incredible and his knowledge of proper grammar is, too. So when he told me this story from the past, I had to assume whet was spelled “whet” and not “wet”. I’m forever expanding my vocabulary just by visiting with grandpa.

Listen to grandpa’s story about whetting as he takes us on another AgWalk.

Now admit it – did you have to look on dictionary.com?

Until we walk again …
