SPELLING LESSON

Marty’s the one doing H.o.p.’s spelling lesson tonight.

So, I’m sitting here reading and I hear behind me:

Marty: Union. Union. He joined a labor union to try to get better pay for all workers.

H.o.p.: No, no. How about instead, “The Nature Team is a union of freedom to escape the atomic bomb”.

I was amused.

    There’s always a subtext. Did you ever notice that Spanish language textbooks always have dialogues about taxi drivers who drive too fast?

    I love this. It reminds me of when people ask why my lamblets are aware of as much as they are and I reply… we talk with them.

    OT- is your email the same? I can’t find your email on the page. I may have overlooked it. I’ve got 2 of your former ones, but don’t know if you did away with both when you went to the dark side. 🙂

    Susan, we’ve begun (and dropped) several Spanish software/online programs with H.o.p. and none have fast taxis. But then we have never gotten past the food and family stages.

    Jennifer, the old meanwhile at idyllopuspress.com is the same.

    The dark side…yes…
