(While singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer)
Rudolph the red nose reindeer, you'll go down in history...Like Columbus!
(Jared deciding to use this as a teaching moment says) Savanna do you know who Columbus is?
Yes.
Why did he go "down in history?"
Well, he was looking for the West Indies but actually sailed into and discovered South America.
Uh, yeah, but do you know what he's really known for?
He proved the earth is round.
Right.
Savanna: Mom, playground is a compound word. See play (does playing motions) and ground (hits the ground) then put them together, playground.
Me: Right. What else is a compound word?
Savanna: Into. Upon. Outside. Outto.
Me: Wait, outto? that's not a word.
Savanna: Yes it is, out and to put together is a compound word.
Me: But nobody says ...
Savanna: Mom, out (grabs the air with her left hand) and to (grabs the air with her right hand) OUTTO (brings hands together).
Me: OK.
Well I'm off to Texas tomorrow. Jared's got the kids for 6 days, with help. He is terrific! I'm going to visit my cousin Rachelle and help her with her quintuplets! I've been wanting to do this for 5 months now so I'm excited.

Wow. What a smarty-pants! That compound word stuff sound like Jeffy.
"Mom, you just don't understand what I'm trying to say" kind of stuff. Silly kiddies.
