Watching PBS expands your vocabulary


A few days ago, we made popsicles with yogurt and strawberries. I was excited to try one and it was hard to wait.

Mommy and I had this conversation.

Me: Are my freeze pops ready yet?
Mommy: Not yet. They will be ready soon.
Me: (dramatic sigh) I'm just so crestfallen.
Mommy: Crestfallen?
Me: It means "sad".

Oh my Ben, crestfallen??? I must remember that when GGma is sad...It's a good word, and much more interesting than just plan sad.

You are a wonder..

Love you,
GGma
