We should be right, then

Lovergirl's studying for her child & adolescent psychiatry exam. She keeps calling out interesting tidbits. Apparently a child's potential cognitive development can be determined by age three, partly by assessing the home environment. One environmental indicator is the presence of books. If there are at least five books in the house, it demonstrates that some intellectual stimulation is happening in the home.

A crumb factory? What have you got, a library of breadcrumb cookbooks of the world?

I suppose there's a world of biscuit crumb possibilities - cheesecake bases, lemon slice...
