  • Kites and Hyperbole

    At one point, one of the kids informed me that kites make clouds go away. I wrote that down on a post-it, and put it in my desk drawer. Now I've found it, and typed it up. We can all breathe a sigh of relief.

    In more recent news, today Seph had a vocabulary lesson. Seeing as we've been lax in our schooling lately, this is good. This is how it went:

    Me: So, do you think foam stickies and visors would be a good craft for the Elks on the 4th of July?
    Seph: That's a great idea Mom! That would be the best craft ever! That is one of your best ideas!
    Me: Um, huh? (pause) Really?
    Seph: You're right. I'm just exasperating.

    I leave the vocab as an exercise for the reader. It certainly was an exercise for me.
