Never eat soggy waffles

Daddy told me that I should ask John "What's on a compass?" I listened to home and asked John. John said "There's an N. And a E and a S. And also a W!" And he stopped talking. That couldn't be the end. So I asked "Is that it?" And John said "Well there's an arrow. And you know what all the letters mean?" I said "No. I don't. Can you tell me?" He smiled and said "Never Eat Soggy Waffles!" I laughed and said "That's what the letters mean?" He covered my mouth (so I wouldn't wake up Gillian) and said "No. That's how we remember all the directions. Never Eat Soggy Waffles. Mrs. Belena taught us!"
