command

I talk to myself. All the time. Pretty much non stop. As a matter of fact, when I am not singing out loud in the car, I am often engaging in a lively chat with (pause for effect) myself. But these days I can wear a head phone and people peering through my wind shield will think I am connected via cell phone to another person. I like it that way. This way I agree with most of my own suggestions, am nearly always supportive, and know when to shut up too.

Sometimes I catch myself doing the talking aloud thing with the kids nearby and I pretend that my chatter was directed towards whoever happened to be in the room, but the truth is that I mostly do not expect an answer. So, you might wonder where I am going with this, the other day when I happened upon Josh's corrected spelling homework I did not like the comment that his teacher wrote on the top of the page.

And I actually (yes, I am brain dead) forgot that the husband was sitting at the table with me. And I said something like, "In my day "Spin me." and "Slap me." were considered complete sentences. It used to be called a command before they changed everything to confuse the parents." And I said it with the bad girl a.t.t.i.t.u.d.e. that I save for private conversations with myself. And I was pretty shocked/surprised to hear A VOICE (hello husband) present me with a suggestion. I now present to you, dear readers, the corrected with the suggestion version of Josh's more complete spelling sentences. Ta da..

PS Come on folks, I know you are out there, I checked my stats. Scroll down to yesterday's post and play along! The new game can be called "Top Jen's suggestion!" Please...

I dont have anything that would top that. I think what the hubby suggested and you added says it all! :)

I'm sorry, but if she wanted to mark anything on that paper, it might have been #3: "A worker will use a kill." Not sure what 'use a kill' means, unless he forgot the s for skill, but hey - #5 and #6 are totally and completely correct.

If you're gonna correct someone, at least be correct about what you're correcting, I say.

Sheesh!
