1.) We were practicing penmanship by playing a game called copy cat. You basically have your child try to write letters and words exactly like you and if he can do it, he wins points; the more points, the cooler the prize. Anyway, Dylan was having problems with the letter "t".
Me: Dylan, that "t" looks like it's an "x". What can you do to make it look more like a "t"?
Dylan: (large sigh) Mom! It looks exactly like a "t"! It's just doing yoga!
2.) Sometimes to practice spelling words we play hangman. It was my turn to guess what Dylan's word was and I was loosing big time. At one point when I was nearly done for, Dylan started filling in blanks with every letter I said...
Dylan's word at the end of the game: G F A N U H Z
Dylan: Mom ! You did it! You didn't die!
Me: But Dylan, that's not a word!
Dylan: (looking very disgusted with my ignorance) Mo-om! That's because it's a french word. You just wouldn't understand!
