In my house, allowance doesn’t come cheap or easy. In an effort to try to keep LM verbally challenged (not an easy task!), I bought the magnetic poetry genius edition for him for Christmas. Yesterday, I formulated a sentence (well, sorta, it isn’t as easy as it looks) and offered him $2 if he could translate it into simple English (and yes, he could use a dictionary. At least until he gets the hang of some of these new words.)
I also offered an additional $2 for him to create an equally challenging response. I’ll let you know what he comes up with.
P.S. LM is now $2 richer!

Oh, that’s awesome. So eloquent-sounding. Now, excuse me while I go dust off the dictionary…

Woops – my brain just fizzled out. I think that was the straw that broke the camel’s back! What a wonderful idea – I will have to remember that for when my kids are older.

What a creative way to earn your allowance! (You should get a couple bucks yourself, for coming up with that monster! LOL…)

Excellent! I’ve always wanted a set of those magnets. I may have to go find some now.
