This morning, while my family and I were gathered in the kitchen eating pancakes for breakfast, my Mother asked a fun trivia question.

Mom: "Does anyone know what George Washington called pancakes?"

John: "Hotcakes"

Me: "Flap Jacks"

John: "Freedom Cakes"

Mom: "No. Hoe cakes."

Everyone: "Hoe cakes?"

Me: " Ho cakes, as in, skanky ho?"

Devan: "Skanky ho!!"

Lots of loud laughter ensued with Devan's comment. My Mom then explained that George Washington used to cook pancakes on a hoe over the fire. And then, just for kicks, Devan shouted "Skanky Ho!" again. What a wonderful way to begin the Sunday before Christmas.
