Oh sure, but when every teacher and educational professional who reads her report mysteriously drops dead, she’ll change her tune!

Way to go for little miss dangergirl!

I was proud of my own 6-year-old recently, commenting on the reptiles book we’ve been reading, which has a Q&A format: “What is the largest snake snack ever eaten?”

The answer is an impala antelope. Said my son: “That’s more than a _snack_!” How right he is. Also, reading “snake snack” aloud is irritating. I’m always rewriting kids’ books on the fly so that they sound better read aloud. 😃
