For Valentine's week Dorothy's teacher was talking about hearts, and she asked each child what makes his heart beat fast. One after another, the kids gave examples of exercise: running, gymnastics, spinning around. Dorothy went last. "Doing XtraMath," she said. This is her school's timed computer game about math facts.
Dorothy has been making up her own jokes lately:
What's a cat's favorite food?
A purr-nip
What did the nutcracker say when someone made it laugh?
You crack me up
