The other night Bry was singing one of the songs from The Lion King.
I completed the verse by surprising him and saying:
"Quick before the hyenas come!"
Bryant's response: "Actually, it's hyen-a, Mom."
Caleb confirmed: "He's right there's no s to make it plural."
(Kind of like quail, moose or cactus).
With my feathers ruffled, I said, "Oh yeah, how do you know?"
Caleb: "Jaime, I was a school teacher for 4 years. I know lots of things."
Me: "So what, I AM a school teacher!"
We laughed and I told him that was a bloggable moment.
Then, determined to prove his intelligence on trivial matters, he went on to ask if I knew where the word "blog" came from. He informed me that it came from the term "web log". If you say it fast, you'll hear the word "blog". Good to know in case you're ever on some silly game show like "Are You Smarter Than an Ex-Fifth Grade Teacher".
