I love me a pyramid!
I love it when little kids use the wrong words.
Sometimes the mistake is so hilarious that their wrong word becomes the new word.
My kids are grown now, but we still say, “pay a chicken,” instead of “pay attention.”
When we get annoyed with each other, we snarl a contemptuous, “You d*ck”, because that’s exactly how my two-year-old said it to his big brother.
At the time, the big brother was terribly offended.
But since he was the one who introduced the little guy to that kind of language, he kind of asked for it.
This morning, I was teaching an English class to a group of second graders.
We were writing sentences.
One little girl informed me that we have to end every sentence with a pyramid.
It almost killed me to have to correct her.
I like the concept of indicating a full stop with a shrine to the ancient Egyptian pharaohs.
However, since I’m the teacher, I guess I have an obligation to correct her.
It would be a poor reflection on me if I didn’t.
But I really do like the idea of ending my sentences with a pyramid.
It would add so much more dimension to my writing.
