The Preschool Mind....

Riding in the van today-

Elijah: Mommy, I just figured out a new blend- "ine" has the letters i-n-e. When you put any letter in front of "ine" it can make new words. Like "vine"
Micah: Or "mine"
Elijah: And Micah the silent "e" at the end makes the vowel say it's name.
Micah: What's a vowel?
Elijah: Vowels are bad.
Me: Why are vowels bad?
Elijah: Like in basketball, Daddy says that grabbing someone's shirt is a vowel and that's bad.

That is classic!!! It's so good you are writing these down so that you can look over them in years to come. I'm sure we will laugh about these things for many years! Blessings!

Great story.

You should submit this to Reader's Digest, www.rd.com. You might make some money with it!

Simile Metaphor Collection

Elijah after running: My heart is beating like a coconut rolling down a hill.
Elijah on urination: Pee is like horses galloping out of the gate. Once they get started you just can't stop them.
Elijah: If school were a human I'd give it a wedgie.
Elijah: I am like a hot rod and I just want to be a plain old Ford
Elijah on the fruits of the spirit: I've got them all covered except self-control. Its like a tiny green tomato and the rest are all big ripe ones. Especially love. Its like the biggest tomato we saw in the garden tonight.
