Today one of the kids looked at his worksheet and just wailed, "Contractions, contractions, contractions! Whyyyy so many contractions!?"

It made me think about how tedious it must be to learn the English language. Poor kid, some day he'll thank me!

  5. Too funny Emily!!!

    Mrs. D...one of my girls has a similar vendetta toward "silent letters"...such as the "gh" in "light"..."WHY is it there at all if it's not going to make a sound?", she laments!
