It's Just An Expression...

We've been talking with the girls a lot about expressions, which show up a lot in the books we read. Like when Olivia was "dressed to the nines." Well, I guess Madi decided she wanted to clarify this concept in her journal (above), which I've translated below:

"I'm pooped" means I'm tired. "I pooped" means I just pooped. No skin off my back. I went to a pool party. It was so fun. We did the pinata. It was so fun.

    Wonderful Madison! I'm bursting my buttons over this great linguistic news. "Bursting my buttons" means I'm so proud of you. "Bursting my buttons" also means that I had too many candy bars and my pants don't fit. I love having offspring who are aware of English idioms. So fun!
