The past few days I've been letting the kids type on the the computer. It started when Chicken asked if he could write "I love you Mom" one day while I was typing something. Of course I said yes, how could you deny such a request? I'll type up the sentence they want, and they copy it underneath. Chickens sentences are always more or less the same despite my attempts to branch out--he requests slight variations like "I love you Mommy", "I love you Ma Ma Ma", and his personal favorite, " I love you Mommy-choo". Edee will let me use her school "sight words" in sentences.
I had set it up for Edee and Chicken to take turns typing then walked into the kitchen.
Edee: Uh, Mom! We need help, Chicken did something to da word.
Me: Okay, coming. What happened?
Edee: Well, someting happened dat like, a blue kind of force field went around da word.
Me: Ha...what? A force field? That means it's "high-lighted".
Edee: Yeah he high-lighted a word.
Awesome, I will never view high-lighting the same.
Oh noodles.
"Edee" and "Chicken" are nicknames for my two little rascals. The names originated from how my daughter would pronounce both her own and little brother's name when she first started talking. They've stuck. Chicken may live to regret that someday....
