Me, You, My, Yours

Okay, one day my daughter will read this and on that day she will disown me (or at least have a good start to her file for the psychiatrist). It is just too easy but I have to remind myself 30 yr old nerd vs 4 yr old princess - not really a fair fight.



Every week during the school year at school my daughters class focuses one letter of the alphabet. This week just happens to be M. Every day that I pick her up, we spend the ride home (doing what now class, if you read the posts you know) talking about her day. We try and find things in the car or outside that start with the letter of the week or she tells me the new words she has learned. By the way, really hard to come up with words that start with a specific letter on demand!

So we are going through M words: mitten, Michigan, man, mom, mama, Mickey Mouse, Minnie.... stuck for a moment. She tells me that she learned a new M word, me... and here went the conversation (M=Me, D=Daughter).

D: I know another M word, ME!
M: You?
D: No, ME!
M: That is what I said, You?
D: Ugh, NO ME!
M: You? That doesn't start with M.
D: No, I said ME.. not you.
M: Oh, ME! Yes, that starts with M.

But she doesn't get it. There is no grasping of what is going on. I guess I won't play "Who's on First" for her yet. Yet, it doesn't stop.... no, I won't bore you with the next conversation, play the above again using the following equation (nerd):

Me-> My
You -> Yours

It is people like me that help keep talks shows on the air. At least I make a contribution.

Sorry DD, it is only because I love you that I pick on you (at least that is what my Dad told me all these years!)
