This morning as I was doing my Saturday newspaper's crossword puzzle:
Me: Strong-arm... what's a five-letter word for strong-arm?
Jonah: Wait. Isn't that the name of the guy who landed on the moon?
Me: No, baby, that's ArmSTRONG.
Jonah: Oh yeah. Darn, that's too bad 'cause his first name has five letters. Glenn.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that it's actually the four-letter word NEIL.
3 strokes of genius:
What IS a five-letter word for strong-arm? I'm stumped.
That is too cute! I love it when they begin being thinkers. Even wrong, they are thinking. Cool!
I never did figure it out, Kelly.
And what I love even more than the growth of their putting-two-and-two-together abilities, Lyn, is the growth of their DRY WIT. Toni told me that I should have titled this post "Glenn Strongarm." I'm gonna have to start consulting with her before hitting "publish."
