What a gift.<br /><br />My Gwynly plays with words. He's a teacher and makes his students laugh when he does things like asking them to "re-rowize" their desks after they've been arranged for a group activity.

I find that a lot of not so educated people are able to do that.<br /><br />I'm doing first stab ever at writing a novel by participating in NaNo. I know they just say write as fast as you can, but I can't help but editing as I go and I keep a dictionary and thesaurus right beside me because I refer to them with great frequency.<br />Lee<br />http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-27530137423948527932009-11-13T11:01:54.199-05:002009-11-13T11:01:54.199-05:00Oh that is SO cute!!!

For instance she has an imaginary friend named Cece whom she always scolds. When I ask her why she's scolding Cece so much, she turns to me and says, "because I know what's good for her!"Angie Muresanhttp://www.angiemuresan.comnoreply@blogger.com
