Humor for a Tuesday--Out of the Mouth of Babes.....

[Ludwick Mary <ludwickm@LISD.NET>]

A 4th grader checked out *My Brother Sam is Dead.*  The mother sent note
to teacher complaining of cursing in book, so child checked out another
for his report.    Teacher asked me to handle it with child.  So today
when the student arrived he asked me if his teacher had given me the
book.  I began a little talk on what we know of a character who speaks
this way, and why author might do this in a book.etc.....and author is
not trying to get us to speak this way, but we learn about the character
through the language.  Student replied, "Oh yes, I know about these
words because my parents use them all the time."----I could hardly keep
a straight face!
