Me: What would this compound word be?Tuesday, April 19, 2016
Volunteering
I help out every week in Chase's classroom, usually to play some sort of educational game with the kids. This week, we were studying compound words.
Dalton: Snowboy.
Me: Um, have you heard of a "snowboy" before?
Dalton: No.
Me: What else could it be? See, he's wearing glasses.
Dalton: Snowglasses.
Me: No, I mean he's older. He's old.
Dalton: Snowold.
Me: Dalton, he's a man. It's a man.
Dalton: Oh! Snowman.

This made me chuckle the first time I read it, and it's still makes me chuckle. I am reminded of that scene in Emma..."Ship...court...oh, what can it be?!" "Courtship, Harriet, dear."
