Essay

Sunny has been living in the same neighborhood for seven years. Last week, a friend pointed out to her that all the street signs around her house are white with black writing. However, the signs become green with white writing starting only two blocks south. How would you explain the fact that Sunny, who frequently drives all around the neighborhood, never realized this about the signage?
