I like that!

Try to return it and buy a different clock? You can tell your mom it didn't work. You don't have to tell her that you failed to try to insert batteries or plug it in.

I have a kid who is allergic to eggs. Even the jarred variety is not welcome in my house. I stopped eating mayo a lot when I moved away from MA and could no longer buy Cains. Seriously, we used to refer to it as Cains. As in, "Mom! We're almost out of Cains!" I only eat it occasionally now. And not at home.

Maybe they are all still in the dryer?

There's only one real way to say mayonnaise, and that's "Cains."

They most certainly are! Humph.

I have no comments on the ADHD aspect. But my DS will be 9 in Nov, and acts spacey sometimes. His mind wanders when I am talking about something he cares nothing about. With the verb example? For my DS that would information overload. I would have to break down that lesson, because DS would just find that a rambling sentence. So for example, I would have to: Day 1: "A verb is a word that does an action..." and give lots of examples. Put sentences on the board and have him find the verb. I guess he's a visual learner? Day 2: Review Day 1. Ask for an example. Teach next part. "A verb can also link two words together, like an equation." and give lots of examples. Put sentences on the board and have him find the verb. Day 3: Review Day 1 and Day 2 lessons by putting varying sentences on the board and having him tell me which is which. Day 4: Review Day 1 and Day 2 lessons and add in helping verb, again using lots of examples and making him identify. Day 5: Review Day 1, Day 2, and Day 4 lessons, going over the definition as a whole. Picking out examples and telling me which of the three definitions it is. Now he has concrete examples of those definitions, can pick them out on his own, and can see them in his head as he is reciting the definition. Otherwise, to him, it's just words. YMMV. Just sometimes we forget that just because we know the answer and it seems easy to us, it is not easy to them. Yet. And verbs are definitely not as interesting as whatever it is they would rather be doing.

Did they give you floss, toothpaste, and a toothbrush cover, too? I love the goodie bags from the dentist.

We retuned Harry today. :( But his owner is planning on displaying him now, rather than keeping him in the box. Now that I showed him how much specimens of Harry's caliber go for online. LOL So that made me happy.

Yup. Weird.

The only thing my uncle ever appointed me to was head bartender. He taught me how to make a perfect Jack and Coke. For him to drink, of course.

Bob really is my uncle. I also have an Uncle Eugene and an Uncle Raymond. We call them Gene and Ray. Uncle Bob is the only one for whom we use "Uncle" anymore. I never noticed that before. I wonder when we dropped the Uncle and started just referring to them by their nicknames? Strange. Then there's my uncles Shiloh and Shem. They're younger than me. I met them once when I was 5 and we went down to Oklahoma. I got carried away down the river by some rapids. Fun times. Carry on.

I feel so much smarter now.

Abnormal abnormalities - does that make it normal? 🙃

I'd have to see the numbers from a larger sampling to drawn a conclusive correlation, but I'd say the little darlings in the first class are the problem.

Booyah? You missed yours. Oh, and teaching is elevating your BP. You should quit. :D

I never learned much English history in school. It's fascinating.

:seeya:

I can't see titles on my phone. :(

I shall now interrupt this conversation for your daily dose of educational news. DS8 finished his 7th chapter book of the school year today. (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) Last year he read parts of a few, but finished none. Today he even told me that after the sixth book he actually started to really enjoy reading (albeit not as much as gaming). Apparently, it's fun! Yay, me. I give myself ALL the credit. I shan't keep you any longer. You may resume your conversation. P.S. You all look marvelous.

I like your hair, Lynn. Honest opinion? Ditch the sweatshirt. LOL A pretty shirt makes me feel pretty far more than any haircut.

I don't have a song to recommend, but I interpreted your question as your child does not understand the parts of a sentence - in English/any language - so she doesn't know when to use the particular declension. Not that you are trying to learn the Latin declensions. But maybe I misunderstood the question.

I don't know - but wouldn't you want to get her potty trained before the new baby arrives? No time like the present.

:) That is all.
