ElizabethB Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The last 2 sentences in today's read aloud chapter were, "George [Muller] was now a free man, a foreigner with nowhere to go, no missionary society to back him, no job, and only a five-pound note in his pocket. He could not have been happier." My 9 year old daughter piped up, "Boy, that was a heavy note." After I contained my laughter, I did explain. Feel free to add yours...

NanceXToo Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Over the summer, I was reading my son (then 5.9 years old) a book about bodies for health, and one part mentioned that the behind is the biggest muscle a person has. Which prompted my son to ask, "So, you mean, you can attack someone with your butt?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Who knew a science textbook could contain a sentence that is just so wrong in so many ways (from a chapter in Conceptual Physics, about how, due to gravitational attraction, the mass of planets, when close enough in their orbits, can cause the planets to deviate from their normal orbits): "...this deviation is called a perturbation... The source of Uranus's perturbation was uncovered in 1845..." Today, as I happened to be reading aloud the science and came to this sentence, high school DS laughed until he cried -- which made me laugh till I rolled off the couch. May I just say, there are some words that just should *never* be placed side by side, much less in the same sentence. :lol: Edited January 25, 2012 by Lori D.
