Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for November 18, 2020

a not-so-impressed older brother I see

My parents spoke in Pig Latin – then I got better at igpay atinlay than they were. :)

When he was in pre-school, the buzz word for “good” was “awesome” in my nephew’s time. I taught him to say “superlative!” instead. One day, one of his classmates’ mothers brought in a bag of pears for the kids. They munched away happily. Then, my nephew walked up to the teacher and mother. He said, “Miss Peggy, these pears are superlative!” The mother looked at Miss P. and said “I can’t get my kid to say ‘pear’.” :-)

He does not know what “clandestine communication” means.

That is because he is NOT the smart one in the family!!!

Baldo may wind up working for Gracie when they are adults.

The first word my daughter could spell was CANDY. She learned it from me spelling it so often.

Gracie is kind of o-b-n-o-x-i-o-u-s sometimes

I learned to spell the same way.

When our kids were young, we would discuss going to “the Scottish restaurant”, meaning McDonalds. It worked well for more years than I thought it would.
