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?"

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy was reading Anne of Green Gables.  "Anne has to go to Sunday School every week," she said.  "Finally!  A character who has my same problem!"

Dorothy told me:  "I started a Maoist Revolution at school."
Me: ????
She continued:  "I was the first person to bring a mouse for my computer, and now three other kids have brought them, too."

At Dorothy's request I piled about 15 of her stuffed animals on her bed.  She wanted the final two stuffies, and I said that I had left them out because they are electronic and they talk.  "They all talk to me," she countered.

The Sunday Funnies

In her song Dear John, T. Swift sings, "All the girls that you've run dry have tired, lifeless eyes 'cause you burned them out."  "Eww!" Dorothy recoiled.  "He burned their eyes out?"

We were listening to a podcast about social rules, and the podcast pointed-out that you wear nicer clothes to church than you wear every day.  "Not me," Dorothy noted.  [This is true.  She picks out her own clothes.]  The podcast continued:  "And you wear different clothes to sleep in than you wear in the daytime."  "Not you!" Dorothy observed.
