Corn on the Chob

Latest, make you giggle under your breath, phrase from Padon is Corn on the Chob. Very excited to see that the corn has been growing so well in the farms surrounding our house, Padon has been very talkative about it. Walter very neatly explained to Padon the process that a farmer goes through to plant and sow corn, what happens when it is harvested (I believe they watched a combine moving through the fields, harvesting), and Padon came home telling me all about the corn on the chob and how he just loved to eat corn on the chob. I tried to correct his pronounciation in which he turned to me irritated, and corrected me, that it was called corn on the chob. It took a bit, and a correction from Walter (go figure) and now Padon tries hard to say corn on the cob. Walter and I did like hearing about the corn on the chob, however, and both agreed it was a blog worthy phrase.
