1. The first time I ever heard this term (as I am from the pre-PC days) was when my son and my niece were three,and in the same preschool class. I showed up a little early for pick-up, and the teacher invited me in for storytime. So here I sit, feeling like a giant, in this circle of three year olds, with my feet under my bottom, which was apparently against the rules. I hear a little voice saying "Mrs. Taylor...she's not sitting criss-cross applesauce..." It was my own niece. Betrayed! My first thought was what the frig does this mean? My second thought was what a fun way for the little ones to say it. I think it's cute!
2. It's a perfect rhyme the way I say it, too.
3. What the heck is Apple Butter cake, and how can I get a recipe for it?? It sounds delicious - and now I'm craving it! Maybe we need a site like this for recipes, too....
Thanks, John. That was quick! That answered my question, but now I have just one more. Then I'll check out Errata. What's the difference between a comment and a citation?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I couldn't find a Help or FAQ, and I have many "Q's". LOL
Why do some words have definitions, and some don't? And how do you add the definition? I new here and loving it!
