Attachment 54303

Minifob working with his writing tutor. The activity today is he has to spell the spelling word, then come up with his own word to write after it--any word he wants, just working on his general inability/unwillingness to generate his own content.


The third word he chooses for himself?

"Porn"

He was supposed to use whatever popped into his head, and it is a legitimate word, sort of. That word pops into my head once in awhile. :haha:

No, he was thinking about raising some cash using his Playstation as security but couldn't spell pawn. ;)

I thought it was a contraction for popcorn.

No that is porn.

Mmm...Salty, hot, butter-flavored p'orn.

Is he into obscure web-based puzzle sites?

What was the prompt word?

Completely unrelated, but I remember the whole list started with the letter I. His general desire is to come up with short words, so he has less to write.

:D

This is a "do" rather than a say.....

Youngest (Highschool freshman aka camoboy & hewholostdisorganizedinapilesomewhere)went off to volunteer at the swim meet held at the high school for all the local middle schools. These are always chaos anyway. After several hours, one of the moms I know posted bout the meet on Facebook, so I asked how it was going and mentioned he was supposed to be '"helping", she said:

He's the starter.doing a pretty good job, only started two races without the kids ready.

(it was only about a third done at this point)

:lol:

another mom said he did a great job. I asked if he told jokes during the longer races. She said;

no jokes, but his jazz hands always gave away exactly when he was going to hit the start button, which was absolutely awesome, particularly from the vantage of lane 1

:lol: Jazz hands

If you're in a competition you have to pay attention, the race is not at your convenience, it's at the officials convenience. He was teaching future Olympians a valuable lesson. Why he just might have won us a gold medal today. USA! USA! ;)

Overheard at breakfast in the hotel Monday morning from a young boy: "can you pause the baby?"
