We celebrated the Ides of Dorothy's Birthday (notice 7 candles + a short one -- her idea)

Peeking in the attic

The Sunday Funnies

I was reading some trivia questions to Dorothy.  "If you have arachnophobia, what animal are you afraid of?" the question asked.  Dorothy offered, "Raccoons?"  I laughed.  "Here's a hint:  it has 8 legs."  "A spider is an arachnid, not an animal!" Dorothy complained.

"It's so cool that airplanes can't be symmetrical," Dorothy said.  "What?" I asked.  "It's so cool that airplanes can't be symmetrical," she repeated.  "What do you mean?" I asked.  "We discussed this previously," she said.

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy picked up some dumbbells.  "How heavy are these?" she asked.  "It says the number on the side," I told her.  "Two?" she read.  "Yes," I answered.  "Two what?" she said.

Dorothy's teacher sent an email about t-shirts for a school marathon, and I mentioned to Dorothy that I hadn't heard anything about a marathon.  Dorothy offered, "We did a marathon at school before, but it was at a different school, but we did one, so I know that a marathon is a real thing."

Dorothy has much to say about various fonts and punctuation:
"I figured out how they show that something is important.  They write it thicker."
"I can write it kind of in cursive, I just turn my paper and then write it normally."
"I know what that means because they explain it after the asteroid."

On the first day of March I played some Irish music on my phone while I showered.  Dorothy came into the bathroom and asked if it was Irish music, and I was impressed at her guess, and told her yes.  A few minutes passed and I turned off the water, and could hear more clearly.  "I hate this Pirate music," Dorothy added.

In A Series of Unfortunate Events, a character who is persnickety about grammar jumps out of a window and leaves a note, which suspiciously includes grammatical errors.  I was reading the book aloud to Dorothy and I pointed out an error in the note, and pointed out that the villain had also made that same mistake.  "What do you think that means?" I prompted.  Dorothy gasped:  "She's not actually good at grammar!" she accused.

The Sunday Funny

Dorothy is reading A Series of Unfortunate Events.  Brian said to her, "I like that the book uses big words but then it tells you what they mean."  "Yeah," she replied, "why don't they just use small words instead?"
