Funny Talk From Little Ones

I’ve been doing some work with our 5-Year-Old Boy, letters and writing. He knows a lot and is very mature in thought processes, coming up with interesting statements often. So coupled with my working with him, this morning I pulled out a box of Picture Cards that I have, and showed him one, it was a wreath. I asked him what it was, and he said, “Um, it’s one of THOSE,” pointing up at the wreath hanging above our fireplace.

Alright, I thought, he knows what it is but can’t always know the word, typical VSL. So I looked through the cards and found one of Jim, card 32, which is displayed directly below. He doesn’t know the card is “Jim” but should have ID’d it as “a boy” or something like that, a name of something. Jim is a character in the phonics series that the picture cards belong to. Vintage “Dot & Jim” a.k.a. “Phonetic Keys to Reading” .

He looked at the picture and immediately:

“It’s a human jumping in mud,” he said quite matter-of-factly.

ROTFLOL 😆 😆
