Update on Corny Post

4th grade boy just told me that the average sized ear of corn has about 500 niblets on it.  So, I must correct my earlier number of niblets.  Evidently there were approximately 6,000 corn niblets in that pan.  I never was good at math.  I asked him how he could possibly know that.  There actually is a very simple, logical and reasonable explanation.  But I am not going to tell you what it is.  Isn't niblet a funny word?  Or am I just that immature.
