The Sunday Funnies

I bought an anatomy board game because I thought that the little snap-together skeletons were so cute.  I wanted to play it with Dorothy over the weekend, but we never got around to it.  While she was at school on Monday, I couldn't help myself, and I constructed one of the adorable skeletons.  Dorothy returned home and saw the toy.  "Mom, you played the game without me?" she asked.

Dorothy and her friend were discussing curse words.  (They discuss curse words a lot.)  Both girls mentioned their parents' habits.  Then Dorothy asked, "How do teachers and grandparents keep from cursing?"

Dorothy was reading and I asked her if she wanted me to turn on a light.  I carried on:  "My grandparents were always watching me read or do my homework on the floor, and they would comment that I should use a light so I wouldn't ruin my eyes.  I guess their eyes were getting worse, like mine are, so they were thinking about light.  Of course I'm probably as old now as my grandparents were when I was a kid," I (slightly) exaggerated.  "No," Dorothy clarified, "you act as old as them.  There's a difference."

The Sunday Funny

Dorothy overheard my friend talking on a Marco Polo.  My friend said, "I need to get all the supplies for our church party.  I think it's wine and cheese for 100 people."  "Wine and cheese?" Dorothy exclaimed.  "She can't be serious!"

Homework

Dorothy received some hand-me-down books. She keeps saying, "I never would have picked this, but it's so good!"

Dorothy, reading:  "Mom, this book says that consequences can be good or bad.  It just means that something is a result of an action.  You always say consequence like it's a bad thing.  And did you know that suffrage means the right to vote?"
