Spelling and grammar

My 6 year old loves them too.

After doing a real quick web search I have surmised that it is smiley and the plural is smileys. Humph, that just flies in the face of accepted spelling conventions. But then I also found "smilies". Oh, the horror of American English and common usage.

When he is learning to spell, I will try to remember to teach him the correct way!

I first signed up at BYC about a year and a half ago. When Brennan (my now 5 year old) would ask me what I was doing, I would say "reading about chickens." So now, each time he sees me at one of Nifty's sites, which all look similar, he asks me, "are you reading about chickens?"

He reads over my shoulders sometimes and thinks the smileys are funny. He asks, "What's that one doing?"

I just pulled up the reply box so I could show him the menu with all the smileys. He wanted to put the best ones in a box to show everyone.

From BYC:
"We went some relatives for a family dinner and found one geocache along the way." Just an omitted word and not a spelling or grammatical error, but I couldn't resist. (I'm dead meat......)

You need to slow down on your typing.

Ok - It was late, I was tired and in a hurry not to mention my nerves.

Here's a song to calm your nerves. Maybe I should post it on your thread.

Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight
With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast

Oh, Dac, do you know "Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread" ? Can you sing it for me for my lullabye?

 

[2dream]

awwww Dac... How sweet. And how perfect. I am much better now.

Plus I never knew all the words to that lullabye.

 

[dacjohns]

I could not pass this one up.
