today...

Holt's class had an ABC parade today. He was Surfer Shark patrol (we made that up!) for the letter S. We made the surf board together and even cut a bite out of it.

Adly says "Oh, I almost swipped." (usually says "fwipped") Mommy says, "Did you say slipped?"
Adly says, "Yes, b/c I'm big and I can say sssssswipped now."

Holt says, "S said he got to touch a Great White."
Mommy says, "That sounds like a story to me. I don't think there is a place where you can touch Great Whites. What do you think?" ("story" is a nice way of saying "lying"!)
Holt says, "Well, he said he did."
Mommy says, "I'm just saying, I'm pretty sure S didn't touch a Great White. I can ask his mommy if it's the truth or a story."
Holt says, "Mom, come on, you can just say 'lying' b/c that's what it is...if S didn't really touch the Great White, then he's lying...we are big boys, we can handle it."
