Big Kid: "Hey mom, guess what word I learned today? 'FUCUS'!"
Me: What?!?!
Big Kid: (giggling) "You know-FUCUS-the brown algae that grows on the beach. Isn't it cool what you can learn in a dictionary?"
Me: "Yeah....cool...real cool."
And no, I didn't know that FUCUS was beach algae. And yes, I actually looked it up on dictionary.com just to make sure he wasn't trying to freak me out. And indeed FUCUS is beach algae. What a perfect vocabulary word for the 6th grade crowd. Can't wait til they discover the National Geographic. And so it begins...
Yes, "titillate" was a ninth grade vocabulary word this week . . .
