The other day, Logan brought home a journal he made at school. I had to laugh at the cover, where Logan had spelled his middle name, as he does with every word he doesn’t know how to spell, phonetically.
No comment on the misspelled last name.(He and I have been over it many times.)
As I began reading the writing journal, which contains tiny gems in both pictures and phonetically-spelled words, I said, “Awwwwwww…” out loud when I got to this one:
My translation: The most important manners is always be kind. Being kind is nice. It is fun too. I like being kind.
What elicited the “Awwwwww…” from me was the picture, in which Logan drew himself opening a door for other people and saying, “Ladies go first.”
“What?” said Logan, who was sitting across from me, doing his homework and heard my sigh.
“That’s so gentlemanly of you,” I said, showing him the picture.
“Aw, Mom, you’re making me dashful,” he said.
“Dashful?” I echoed.
“Yeah, you know, when you’re embarrassed? You’re dashful,” he explained.
“Oh, you mean BASHFUL,” I corrected.
“Yeah, DASHFUL,” he nodded.
I know this is kind of an old post, but I think that is absolutely adorable. “Math-you”
Thanks, Susan! I thought so too. =)
