Jun. 6, 2009 - Punctuation and Colon Health--a Conversation.
A conversation at our dinner table tonight...you just never know what to expect.
We were eating lettuce from our garden. (Along with trout that we caught today at a fishing derby and some whole wheat elbow noodles ) I gave the kids each a bunch of big leaves since we didn't have too much salad stuff to go with it today like tomatoes/cucs etc.
Noah asked if he could give one of his lettuce leaves to his 8yo sister who LOVES lettuce cause he thought I gave him too much. I told him that I was making sure he never had colon cancer.
The discussion went to "what is a colon?" (can you believe doctor kids asked that question? Sigh)
So I explained that a colon is the same as the large intestine and that it stays healthy if you eat lots of fiber like fruits and veggies like lettuce.
Aslan then said, "If I have a colon, then Gilead (his 5 month old baby brother) must have a SEMI Colon."
The homeschool dinner table is never dull!

That was too cute. Has he been doing grammar over the summer or something? Want to get together? We just made it in and hubby will be gone for a month. We'd love to come out and play. Eme!
