How to Talk Nonsense

When I was a kid, I heard the term “hiding your light under a bushel” and couldn’t figure out what it meant. I asked my mom, who explained the concept.

When she was done, I believe the three primary questions I asked were:

Why would somebody do that?

A bushel of what?

 and

Wouldn’t the bushel catch fire when the lightbulb gets hot?

I was a very literal-minded child.
