words of the day

Yesterday morning, before I was even out of bed, E asked me to make a TINT BOIL helmet so we can pretend that we're on Mars. Now I have heard the song "Hats" on the CD his teacher gave him for Christmas many times but I never heard TINT BOIL, I've always heard TIN FOIL.

Last night we called Nana so E could tell her the new poem (tongue twister) he had learned.
"I want to tell you a po-lem Nana"
"A what?"
"I po-lem, it's when things rhyme." (you could hear the "Duh" in his voice"
"Oh a poem, ok"
"Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy
was he?"

Then she told him a joke:
"When do cows go to sleep?"
"I dunno"
"Pasture bedtime"

He 'cracked up' (his new favorite saying from a book on tape) then we asked do you get it, do you know what it means.
"No"
Now it was our turn to crack up.

Must work now.
