a few conversations:
sadie: "that guy has the hugest adam's apple, it's as big as the trunk of an elephant."
me: "that's mean."
sadie: "no it's not. i was using a simile."
*********************************************
sadie and abe were discussing something.
abe just wasn't getting it.
finally sadie said, "you just don't understand."
abe: "i do understand, you're just not using colorful enough words!"
both of their teachers have been emphasizing creative writing...it's fun to see it carry over into everyday life.
