(Still experimenting with this form)
- It’s best not to ask questions when a boy comes in the door from a walk in the woods and says, “I almost crashed to my death falling from a cliff but I didn’t.”
- Nine-year-olds do not get sarcasm. If I say, “He’s bothering you? Then sit on his head,” he’ll do it until his brother howls. (Did it, actually.)
- Tom Sawyer has a gruesome murder scene. Wish I had remembered that before I started reading it as a fun read-aloud to all the kids.
- What does a 7-year-old want if he could have more of something? “Cuddling, I guess.”
- Morning chores or 31-day challenge? Creativity wins every time.
