Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. My kids have no school today. We started the day off right by doing some homework
that we were too lazy to do all weekend. My 7 year old is really into the "Captain Underpants" series. Part of his
homework is to read
any book he wants for 20 minutes. He read "Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman." (I'm so proud of him!) As he was reading he looked up and said, "This is so funny it says 'shut your
pie hole.' What does that mean?"
Now I have to wonder, "why does he think it's funny if he doesn't know what it means?"
I told him that "
pie hole is not-so-nice way to say mouth." He wasn't impressed and kept on reading. Another important
vocabulary lesson completed.
My 5 year old started the day by vomiting in the toilet.
What a great way to start the day.
