Today in the car on the way to school:
Brady: "Mommy, is 'toot' a verb or a noun?"
Insert Parker giggling.
Mommy: "Well, what do you think? Perhaps it can be used as both."
Brady: "Parker 'tooted' yesterday at Little Gym is a verb - a big, smelly action verb! And Parker had a stinky 'toot' yesterday at Little Gym is a noun, and 'stinky' is its adjective!"
Mommy, trying to speak over Parker's howling laughter: "Yes, Brady you are correct. Now get out of the car, and DON'T YOU DARE use that example in Mrs. Van. B's class!!!"
If he can properly diagram bodily functions, then why, oh why, did he miss several points on his grammar test last week?
Boys.
