"Mommy, the grass outside is growing as fast as grapes are eaten!" quipped Michael.
"Oh, it's growing that fast hunh?"Mom asked, knowing that grapes are eaten very quickly in this house.
"Yeah- it is biiiig."
"Hey were you using a similie or Metaphor there?"
"Similie, Mom." sighed the 12 year old son of an english teacher wanna be.
"OK, guess we have to tell Dad to mow soon!"
"Yup!"
No, I did not make this dialog up- my son was home with me a lot this week, and I always ask things like similie or metaphor- keep him thinking. Yes, it is funny. He knows I almost became an English teacher, and he still puts up with me. He thinks it's funny to discuss things with me- that I often read his books to have something to talk to him about. And he talks to me still, about lots of stuff. I am blessed.
