Grownups Say the Darndest Things
Sometimes I wonder what the world is like for a 4-year-old, particularly when it comes to language. Bryn is so literal with idioms. I just told her to be a good sport about sharing with Calvin, and she said (defiantly), "I'm not a sport. People don't play with me like I'm a ball. I'm a girl."And today for some reason I started singing "Dancing in the street," and she got her wide-eyed concerned look on her face and then started laughing hysterically and said, "we don't really dance in the street," and then added a bit more seriously, "do we, mom?" Poor kid. I'll have to remember not to say "that cost me an arm and a leg," anytime soon.

It burns, it burns!
I had no idea a kiwi could be so vindictive. There I was eating dinner, and after enjoying one sweet succulent kiwi, I decided to dive into another. This one was not quite ripe, but I decided to suffer through it anyway, since I'd already peeled it and the dang thing was expensive.As I ate it, I noticed a slight burning sensation at the end of my tongue. And yet, I determinedly ate more. I guess there was a pretty high acid content, because two hours later my tongue was still burning, and I had bright red raised bumps all over it. It felt like someone had sandblasted it and poured lemon juice on it. So beware: never eat underipe kiwi (NEUK), unless you too want a set of new taste buds.
