That Pumpkin Looks Like . . .

Reading is Fun. Let me share how.

Tonight Phill was reading a book Larien choose from the library. The title is The Bumpy, Little Pumpkin. In it Little Nell is choosing pumpkins. Big Sarah chooses a pumpkin that is tall and skinny. Big Lizzie chooses a pumpkin that is large and round. Little Nell chooses a bumpy, little pumpkin. On the page where Little Nell is choosing a pumpkin there are many different pumpkins of all shapes and sizes.

Larien stopped Phill at this page when she said, "That pumpkin looks like a peni$."

Phill nonchalantly said, "Yes, it does," and moved on to the next page.

"So what did you do today at school Inwe?"

"Uhm, Inwe."

"Yes, Daddy."

"What two things did you tell Mrs M. about yourself?"

"I told her I was going to get goldfish for my fifth birthday and that my dog Molly just died and that she got burnt up yesterday."

"That's all you told her?"

"Well, we could only tell two things."

"I see."
