The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy and I have been reading her Phoebe and her Unicorn graphic novels aloud.  She knows them well.  At the top of each page, she announces which character she wants to be, as in, "I'll be Phoebe's mom on this page."  She's looking for the character with the more interesting dialogue.

Despite our discussions, Dorothy pronounces the word "gymnastics" without the Mm:  "gin-astics."  She claims all her friends say that.

At school, two kids were playing ball at recess and collided; one needed stitches in his forehead.  I figured this out after the initial story, which was that "Isaac bit Jace on the head!"

Dorothy learned that humans walk heel-toe, but run toe-heel.  She tested the theory, and was excited that her source was correct.  She explained, "Everything they said is true, mostly because they're scientists, but also because I tried it and it worked on me!"
