My 8 year old is awesome and fills my life with so much joy. Today I couldn't help but to laugh as a scene unfolded. Maybe you will find this funny...or maybe it's just me.
All day she was practicing writing stories in pig latin. I thought it was cute and was just glad she was practicing writing. Then she explained that she was working really hard to memorize pig latin, because she wanted to be a teacher in a pig latin school when she grew up. I smiled...and was so proud of her ambitions. Then I had to deflate her dream and tell her pig latin was a made up language for fun. She was bummed...then I saw her in her room throwing away her stories and flashcards. It sure was a fun idea for an afternoon, though...and it made me smile. Cheers to pig latin!

Oh Shanda my mother and Aunts spoke pig latin all the time growing up and so we would not understand what they were saying, too funny she is into this! I would encourage it.
