It isn't haere.

The girls made up a little game for me to play the other day, after Allison ran in and asked me how to spell the word "isn't". She wrote this on about 30 little post-its and stuck them on everything in their playroom, wanting me to find their "treasure" they had hidden. They got SUCH a kick out of watching me find all of their notes, and made me pick all of the "it isn't"s before I could pick the one that said "It IS haere." Maybe she should have asked me how to spell "here", too.

"Eeeny, Meeny, Minee Moe

Catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers, let him go. My mom told me to pick the best one and you are not it."
"That's not FAIR!"
"You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit"
"Finders Keepers, Losers, Weepers!"

Seems like school "tag lines" haven't changed since I was there 25 years ago. Who keeps these phrases going, seriously? Is it a part of some secret curriculum I was not informed about??

Other things we've been exposed to since school started:

Lice
Ringworm
Meningitis

And the list keeps growing...
