I was doing various chores/writing/whatever yesterday and Miss B was playing some quiet game. It was just the two of us at home and we were quite content. Then, I heard a laugh and she called out:
Mommy, come see how high this dude is!
My first reaction to this was: Wha–? since more than one definition for that word ran through my head. It seemed that I really needed to check out this dude.
The dude in questioned turned out to be a little Snoopy doll she had poised at the tip-top of a stuff animal clubhouse made of pillows. So, yeah. He was up there pretty high. You might even say he was high.
Sometimes, context is everything.
While I cleaning/clearing things yesterday, I came across a paper Kyra wrote that illustrates the writing lesson of sometimes it’s the word you leave out that’s important (corrected for spelling):
I wish that I lived in a castle because I am a pirate princess but I live in a nice house. I have a nice bed and nice stuff and a brother.
Poor Andrew. He always gets the short end of things, doesn’t he.
The real question is if Andrew was placed up high with the other dude, or if she decides to actually put Andrew ON the roof.
At least her brother is listed with her “nice” things. 😉
LOL. I can’t wait to meet those kids!
