I've been a-salted with a question

We were at Whole Foods Market yesterday. Anne and Lydia were in the seasonings aisle - Lydia was looking for salt.

Sea Salt.

Celtic Sea Salt
$5.99 a pound Celtic Sea Salt (health benefits and all...)

Lydia, being the fantastic home school mom was telling Anne all about sea salt.

Anne asked, "Does all salt come from the sea?" She paused, then in typical kid fashion, asked another question before waiting for the first to be answered, "Does the sea make pepper too?"

Lydia told her, "No." and before she could answer those two questions, Anne began "peppering" her with more questions about the origins of all spices in the aisle.

"Does the sea make anything else?"
"Like... are all the things on this shelf from the sea?"

First grade will be fun. No, seriously.
