you learn something new every day.

and today - i learned about concrete and cement. {surprisingly exciting, considering the engineering world i live in...}

that's right... concrete and cement. did you know there was a difference?

{i can't believe i'm blogging about this. maybe i did hit the bottom of the barrel, mom... }

but as vice president rachel tried to teach me the difference, she put it in terms i could understand. this is how it goes:

cement is a material. an ingredient. like baking soda.

concrete is a combination of ingredients... both in its liquid form AND as a finished product... like cake batter {liquid form} and a fluffy cake {finished product}.

so... when you talk about a "cement truck" - you're all wrong. it's a concrete truck.

you learn something new everyday. sometimes... it's useful. sometimes it's not.
