Things People Do

Our pre-school Social Studies reading today was from the Usborne book "Things People Do". It was about Fine Arts. I read;

"Honor Toze and Leo Tarde are Banilla's leading ballet dancers."

The Rugrat (2) pipes up with, "He dancing, Mommy?"

"Yes, he's dancing, baby. 'They have both been dancing since they were five years old.'"

"five years ode, Mommy? My two."

"yes, you're two. 'Before they joined the Banilla Ballet Company, they went to ballet school.'"

"School, Mommy? My do school. My do ducky book." (there is a hidden duck on every page of these Usborne books and he LOVES to find them).

"Uh-huh. 'Every morning,they go to ballet classes to practice their steps and to exercise their muscles.'"

"My have muscles, Mommy. See my muscles, Mommy? He have muscles?"

"Yes, he has muscles. 'Pierre O'Wet is a choreographer....'"

"He dirty, Mommy."

"Hmmm?"

"He dirty his hands."

"Whose dirty?"

"He dirty his hands, see.... he touching his pee-nuts."

Seriously. Take a look at Mr. Leo Tarde in that first picture box up above and you will see where THAT came from.

The joys of teaching boys.
