He would figure out that comments like that get him a lot of attention and a trip home, and he'd use them more often. :]Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-57323200449692751292009-07-24T08:25:26.600-05:002009-07-24T08:25:26.600-05:00...hmm...

Similarly with the past tense of "think": Sometimes English is just confusing.<br /><br />And while it is helpful to be able to categorize topics in a way for easy grouping, I personally love how so many different subjects interweave with one another [smile].<br /><br />Keep up the good work, even if it is rough at times. Just remember: Scientists are people too--many of them Christians [smile].<br /><br /> ~LukeLuke Holzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799632321310461828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-86937195317175538432009-07-24T06:44:58.525-05:002009-07-24T06:44:58.525-05:00Sue, I sure wish I could blame it on my children s...Sue, I sure wish I could blame it on my children speaking another language! It has to come down to my bad parenting. :p<br /><br />Mary, I was wondering IF as well as WHEN on the outgrowing thing. It's cute, but if you have a lesson to get through, it seems nothing gets learned!<br /><br />DF, how could your kids ever drive you crazy? That implies that there is some distance to this destination presently in your case. :p<br /><br />Ganeida, you really should be glad because the children wanted to make authentic-looking "Civil War shields," so now I'm going to have to go over weaponry and everything. :]Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-48798418209663436412009-07-24T05:57:56.569-05:002009-07-24T05:57:56.569-05:00*snigger* I love your kids ~ especially as they&#...*snigger* I love your kids ~ especially as they're not mine. For my sins I get Ditz! However, Ditz, bless her little cotton socks, is a random thinker so is unlikely to decide your civil war & the romans are anywhere in the historical vicinity of each other, thank heaven or I really would end up in the looney bin.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-49687525867499215672009-07-24T01:41:22.251-05:002009-07-24T01:41:22.251-05:00I don't know how you do it.

My oldest was born knowing more than his father and me and never let us forget it. Among his first phrases was "I know dat awedy." I am sometimes amazed that he let me teach him at all. Living with kids with a higher IQ than you have is great--only as long as you've got a sturdy self esteem. :)Mary O.

I think they have mostly gotten the hang of it, but I was getting worried there for a while.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09508033779758406137noreply@blogger.com
