TCN Mornings Episode 244 - Monday, October 11, 2021

Hey kids, welcome into your Monday, the 11th day of October. Today, of course it Columbus Day. It’s a national holiday—all banks and government offices are closed today, along with other businesses, too, and some schools. Columbus Day is always on the second Monday in October every year in the United States. And observance of Columbus Day signifies the day Columbus arrived in the Americas on October 12, 1492.

For a long time, Christopher Columbus was given credit for actually discovering North America. However, long before Columbus was born, Leif Erikson landed on here. Christopher Columbus WAS and explorer, though, and he did sail across the Atlantic, more than once. In fact, he made four voyages across the Atlantic.

But on his first voyage, he was looking for Asia. He and his crew landed their three ships somewhere near the modern-day Bahamas. While he may not have discovered an already populated continent, he did create an interest in exploring and colonizing North America.

By the way, it was in 1937, that Columbus Day became a federal holiday in the United States. And it was in 1971 that it came to be observed on the second MONDAY in October instead of actually on October 12th.

Okay! Well let’s get going with today’s Monday edition or TCN Mornings. It wasn’t on Columbus Day, and it wasn’t even on a Monday, but on a Saturday that the story coming up happened. It’s called The Burger Battle, and it starts right now.

Jamie and his dad were standing in line waiting for the lady at the register to take their order. It was something they had always done—a father and son day one Saturday a month, rain or shine. The man in front of them had just ordered two grilled chicken sandwiches and two orders of fries. When the lady repeated back the order, the man became angry, and said, “ONE order of fries, ONE order of fries, don’t you listen?!” And then he said some other things that brought tears to her eyes. “Dad, that man said two orders of fries, I heard him,” said Jamie. “I know, I heard him, too.”

“But, Dad, he’s treating her horribly!” “OH yeah,” said his dad. “Yes he is.” Well, it was now...
