When I was in grade school, each desk had an ink well (with ink in it). You dipped your pen in for ink prior to writing, thus an ink pen.
Here in Alabama they call a local town..Mad-rid. In Spain that town is called Mu-drid.
When I taught Kindg. I learned how important it was to use "y'all" instead of you all. If you say "y'all sit down", you aren't singling anyone out. They all sit down.
We had an ice box at my Grandma's for a few years. The ice truck came down the street, looked at the sign in your window to see how many ice blocks you needed, and brought it in. As kids we ran out to the truck and ate some of the ice chips on the back of the truck. I love ice to this day!
