Palindrome

While the grandkids were here and we were with our Amish neighbors they asked the kids their names. Hannah told them her name and then quickly added that her name spelled backwards was the same, Hannah. My Amish neighbor responded that her name was a palindrome. The 11 year old granddaughter was astonished as she had not heard that word before. She is the avid reader and was surprised there was a word she didn't know! ha ha "Was it a cat I saw?" is a sentence of palindromes. Pretty amazing stuff. I've never doubted I was too old to learn something. Noon. Madam. Bob. Dad. Eve. "Rise to vote, sir".
