No pictures, just Mabry news!

Mabry got her report card on Monday. Again, straight A's except for the N in penmanship. No surprises and we are proud of her! I hope that she will start earning S's in penmanship soon, but we aren't stressing about it since she's a lefty and very few teachers are prepared to teach writing to lefties.

Conversation in the car yesterday (note, you need to check out the theme song to "Handy Manny" to truly appreciate this:

Guy (singing): Loco Mabry (in tune)
Mabry (screaming): I am not loco!
Guy (persistent as always): Loco Mabry
Mabry (screaming louder if possible): I'm NOT loco!
Guy: Loco Mabry:
Mabry: I'M NOT LOCO!
Me: Mabry, what does loco mean?
Mabry: It's not nice! I am not (spelling) D-U-M!
Laughter from the adults present.


Now the question is, do we actually explain what loco means and why here spelling of dumb is funny?
