“Capital Deaths…It’s ‘Of The Clock’ ….& A Moon-Moon!”

Deaths- 10 known people have died inside the White House in its 225 years.  That includes two presidents:  William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor. The most recent person was Margaret Wallace in 1952. She was the mother of first lady Bess Truman.

Clock- We say “o’clock” because in the 13th through 17th centuries, clocks weren’t prominent.  So when someone was telling you the time from a clock and not a sundial or just guessing, they’d say, “It’s four of the clock.”  And that became “o’clock”.

Moon- A moon can have its own moon, called a “submoon,” a “moonlet” or a “moonmoon.”
