For some odd reason, Bryan showed me how fast he could talk this morning as he recited the lyrics of a song in lightning speed. It was truly impressive. I told him he might look into becoming an auctioneer instead of the typical jobs that kids get into. Breeanna played with her paper doll book that I gave her last night as we were getting ready for bed. It so sweet for me to see her play with it. I told her that I had a very long airplane trip when I was little (12 hours from Singapore to Hawaii). The flight attendant gave me a paper doll book. It was the only thing I had to do. Her generosity just melts my heart still when I think back on it. I wish I knew her name. What she did meant the world to me. For morning homeschooling we discussed literal and figurative language, tragedy and comedy in literature, imagery, and simile and metaphor. Bryan was very amused that the Latin for "simile" is "simili"...essentially the same. From our many years of exploring Latin derivations, this never happens. The Latin root is usually always something entirely unrecognizable from its English counterpart. Breeanna and I, during our study of imagery had a fun imagining the sky as a blue hill and the clouds as white sheep on the hill. When the wind stops the sheep stands still. 9/13/2013
