I'd watch that.
And I bet you'd be laughing, too!
I have 4 gummy bear vitamins for breakfast every day.
My teens taught me about texting. I can text speak, and do when I'm in a hurry. But mostly I too do the correct grammer, spelling and punctuation.
An advantage is that DD was corrected by another child on her use of the word 'respectably'. The other child thought 'respectively' was the correct word. DD firmly said, "No. I was raised by a woman who could be an English teacher. I want you to behave respectably, not respectively."
She later verified that 'respectively' is actually a word, and how it's used.
I think kids, like cats, are often drawn to people who are uncomfortable with them. Whenever I leave DH by himself at poultry shows, there is ALWAYS a small child, usually a girl child, sitting at his feet and showing him her new baby birds. Or wanting to play with our sale birds. It's adorable, and it makes me laugh.
One of these charmers wanted our silkie chicks very badly. When her daddy caught up to us she leaned against his knee and said, "Oh Daddy, puh-leeze?" as she batted her eyes. In 10.5 seconds dad had his wallet out. I only had 3 left, so I cut him a deal. That's when the little charmer said, "See Daddy? I even saved you
money!"
As they walked away DH said, "She's gonna be hell on wheels when she gets to be a teenager."
