one night, Johnny and I were doing our homework at the kitchen table, got into an argument as to whether it was correct to say ³A hen sits on her nest² or ³sets on her nest.² We finally agreed to submit the question to grandfather. We found Grandfather in the living room by the firplace and asked him whether a hen ³sits² or ³sets.² Grandfather pondered the question for a few seconds, (he didn't know the answer) and said he didn't care whether a hen ³sits² or ³sets² but if she cackles he would like to know if she was laying or lying.
