Conversation in our kitchen Friday night:
Elisha: Mom, what is a show off?
Me: Someone who wants everyone to pay attention to them.
Elisha: Well then, Mrs Cerny (his preschool teacher) is a show off.
Me: Why?
Elisha: Because she always wants us to pay attention to her.
There's just something about the English language that requires more than a simple definition, you know? :o)

Oh how I hope Mrs. Cerny FINDS this post - - - I may have to POINT her in this direction.
TOOOOOO FUNNY!!!
HA! That's so funny! I love how kids think.
Keetha, I'm planning to tell her Monday...just in case he decides to go to school and use his new vocabulary.
Stephanie, "Mrs. Cerny" graduated from UW and is a big Badger fan - - - though I think I have her beat a little and I DIDN'T EVEN ATTEND UW!!!!
What a great conversation! Thanks for the laugh!
Oh! That is too funny! Yes, as an English teacher- it's a hard one- too many rules! What a cute story!
Oh my goodness that is priceless! I love it!
What's a semantic?
:)
Semantics: from the online dictionary, definition 3 which reads, "the meaning, or an interpretation of the meaning, of a word, sign, sentence, etc.: Let's not argue about semantics."
Very cute! Especially that I know Mrs. Cerny too!
I love that picture of Elisha - you should blow it up and frame it!
Thanks for commenting on my blog; I wondered if anyone even reads it anymore since I post so sporadicly (not that all that many people read it before)
Out of the mouths of babes, as they say.
Thanks for clearing up that definition for me Miss Blog Etiquette!
Boy, do I feel better.
:)
