The world through the eyes of Children

Most of us know this sign as the universal sign for a gas station well known and widely used in the Canadian north, however after reading this you will likely never look at it the same.

While driving by this gas station, Macie, who is learning how to spell and read words, age 6, started to spell this sign.

At first, I am sure none of us got what she was doing, but after it sank in I couldn't stop laughing

Her rendition of it was 3-s-s-o. Three, s, s, o.. She spells it out and there is silence in the car. I look over at Esso and realize what she had done. I never noticed it before but the E is in fact a backward 3.  so now it will be know by me as 3-S-S-O

Thank-you Macie.
