Language Skills


As you may or may not know….I have our granddaughter Kayla here several days a week. She is a live wire…keeps us busy….keeps us in a near state of exhaustion and gives new meaning to the words grand parenting skills . There are moments of downright hilarity and others of sheer frustration. Kayla is very lucky that I have a fairly good memory of doing this all before with her Mother!

Kayla’s favorite expressions of late have been the emotionally charged words:

“OH NOooooooooo!!!!”

And the even more alarming words….

“Uh OHhhhhhh!!!”

It occurred to me that with this sort of vocabulary she should not be considering any of the following professions at this time.

Brain Surgeon

Fine China shop owner

Explosives Detonator

Gynecologist

Nuclear Waste Management

Sword Swallower

Painter of Highway Median lines

Sculptor of fine marble

Lion tamer

Just thinking out loud here……..
