Report from the First Day of School

Thumbs up. Way up. The kids got all kinds of questions from their Australian classmates. The best:

Where is Madison? (Don't laugh. Do you know where Toowoomba is?)
Have you ever been robbed at gunpoint?
Are there hobos on every street corner?
What about New York? There must be hobos there.
Have you ever been shot? (this was the same person who asked about being robbed, who has apparently learned that the entire country was actually the set for Scarface)
Do you like Vegemite? (apologies to our Australian friends, but it is, um, an acquired taste)
