Tuesday morning Natalee was hard to wake up. She said, "I know I'm supposed to wake up, but my body says I'm tired!"

"I can't wait to go to the dentist and show him my loose and missing teeth. I bet he's never seen anything like it!"

We were doing homework last night and Natalee had to write some words that ended with -am. She needed one more and couldn't think of anything and said, "Can't I just write another word that I know instead?"

Natalee is learning about syllables in school. Last night she was saying words and we were clapping out the syllables. When she said bedroom I told her that's a special kind of word called a compound word, it's where you take two words and put them together to make another word. She says, "Oh, like Dol and Phin make Dolphin." I said, "No, because Dol and Phin aren't words by themselves." She says, "Yes they are! This is a doll (pointing) and a fin is like a fin on a fish. See, dolphin!"
How can you argue with that?

I love the logic, she is so funny
Natalee's funny, just like someone else I know...
She showed you! :-)
so, was the dentist impressed?? :)
I thought this was so funny I asked Keslee if she thought dolphin was a compound word, she said "of course it is", and had the same reasoning as Natalie. I really don't see any way you can argue, six year olds win!
I LOVE IT! Can't argue with logic!
She is quite a character. You gotta love her. That is some cute stuff she comes up with.
