Kidisms

Studying vocabulary words weekly is often tricky. I try to use the learning tool of "association" when little man gets stuck on a word. This week, the word of confusion was "dense."

"Just think of blood." I say.

"Ewww!" Little man says.

I go on to explain, "think of all the cells in blood. The cells are dense in blood."

Long pause from little man.

Then he asked, oh so quizzically, "What's a cell?"

I laughed all day.
