My son, the wordsmith


He is a Chip off the ol' block.

His name isn't chip. this is a just a saying that means he is just like his mom. See previous post about strange phrases. Does anyone realize that when they use this one that they are calling themselves and "ol' block?" It's not really the image I'm trying to put out there about myself.

Anyway....

Last night I was reading a book to J about a diamond heist mystery. We were reading about the crime and it said "Just then the jewerly store alarm went off." He stops me and with a very puzzled expression asked "Why does it say that the alarm went off? Didn't it just turn on?"

That's my boy!!
