Joseph came home from school with a 3 page note from his teacher:
Joseph: I’ve got bad news.
Miss Cyndy: You do? What is it?
Joseph: The land is going to fall off of the physical cliff. It is almost ready to happen!
Miss Cyndy: Where did you hear that?
Joseph: On the radio, a man said it and he said it was pouring rain, too.
Miss Cyndy: What will happen?
Joseph: The people that live on the cliff will all die! They need to move away, they need to leave!
Miss Cyndy: Joseph, I don’t want you to be worrying about people falling off of a cliff. The fiscal cliff you heard the man talking about is not a place where people live. He was talking about the USA budget, he was talking about the government working on making a plan to balance the budget–the money the government uses to make the government work. It spends money and collects money to run the country. He was not talking about people that were going to fall of of a cliff and die. OK?
Joseph: Oh, OK. The people are all ok?
Miss Cyndy: Yes.
