Cultural Exchange

Yesterday my Canadian cousin's husband learned a few things about life in America. First, he had never seen a garbage disposal before and was intrigued to learn about its function. Then he went to the grocery store and was a little stumped by the question "paper or plastic". He wondered if it meant something about the type of card used to make a payment. When he asked and found out that it meant the type of bag, he asked if he had to pay for the bags. In Canada, when they ask about bags, that means you have to pay something like 5 cents a bag, and usually for cheapo plastic ones. He was so excited to find out that he could have paper bags for free, he opted right in. Now he has an American souvenir to take back with him!
