5 years seems to be the age of enlightenment. My son has been writing a lot of things, sounding them out and phonetically spelling them out. For those of you who don’t know what phonetically is, there is a good definition in Webster’s Dictionary. Go look it up. We have been working on reading, writing, and all that good stuff. I think he knows a lot more than he lets on. Every once in a while something like the following spews out of his mouth……
 |
| Tuba, Tuba, Tuba |
My Son: “Dad, what is tuba spelled backwards?
Me: “A but.”
My Son: “Dad, your tuba spelled backwards.”
Me: “What?”
My Son: “You’re a but, tuba spelled backward, get it?”
I didn’t tell him that but does not equal butt. I’ll let him lavish in his wittiness for a while. I’ll explain homonyms to him tomorrow. Once again, in case you don’t know what homonym means look it up.
I agree with the son!
