Iowa or Utah


Hello,

Sometimes it takes children to point out differences especially when viewing or hearing something that they have not experienced before.

What does Iowa have that Utah does not?

Crickets
Cicadas
Toads
Insects that we cannot name even though I have often seen them
Strange spiders
Forests or woods with many trees clumped together
Cornfields, so many of them
No irrigation for the corn
Gravel roads (at least not that they had ever seen)
Robins
Squirrels
Bunnies
Night noises that insects produce
Thunderstorms
Humidity, humidity, humidity (so their mother says)
All houses look alike?

What does Utah have that Iowa does not?
Few flies
Arid air
Mountains
Comfortable air with no humidity (according to their mother)

Sweets in the house
Bathtub

So there it is straight from the children’s perspective.
