Mommy what is a hookah *??
Mommy what is bulbous??
When I was in school I did pretty well in literature and English - those were my strengths (science and math - ugh). But within English I never liked nor did I do well in defining things. I always knew what things meant I just had a hard time telling others. Not to mention the whole 'you can't use the word in the definition' just killed me. I frankly thought it was a ridiculous exercise - writing definitions of things you already knew. Now I realize that it was an attempt to prepare you for having a preschooler (or two in my case).
Hmmm well a jury is....well...ahhh... OK so when people do bad things they get sentenced.... yeah...OK you probably don't know what sentenced means. OK, so let's say that Mr. Mickey steals Daddy's car then he would have to go to court and there is a group of people there that tell him he was bad and make him go to jail. Understand?? No, well, hmmmm let's move on.
Hookah - OK this is a special type of pipe. Well you probably don't know what that sort of pipe is. OK it's like a vase with a tube in it and then you put tobacco in it and set it on fire and breathe in the smoke..... Wow that sounds pretty stupid when you say it out loud doesn't it??? OK next...
Bulbous - That is sort of something that is fat and round in this case the man's nose is bulbous or fat and round..sort of like a light bulb hence bulbous though in our case we don't use round light bulbs we use compact fluorescent which are more twisty rather than round or bulbous......
Anybody have a dictionary handy???
