Recently “kettle pond” came up in a post. I don’t think it was ever defined . So this southerner looked it up. Seems that it is glacier related depressed ice that left a hole in the ground/sediment. A northern thing.
My mother’s expression for one kid tattling on the other was " that’s the pot calling the kettle black".
Her mother did all the cooking on a wood stove .
Interesting. Thanks.

That only works with cast iron…before the came up with ceramic coated cast iron.
Myra Earthberg Rattles the Tea Kettle
“Stop hakn my tshaynik!”
said old Father Time.
But dear Mother Earth
just wasn’t inclined,
to stay still on surface
while they iced up town well,
so she made her impressions
banging kettles to hell.
Very common in the northeast, USA
