conversation at the grocery store

Checker, holding up a bag from the produce department: "What kind of potatoes are these?"

Me: "rutabagas"

Checker: oh. huh. [rings up more items]

Checker, holding up another bag from the produce department: "and what kind of potatoes are these?"

Me: "turnips"

I took my stew fixins and went home, lamenting the loss of root vegetable knowledge among the youth of today.
