I'm teaching Phoebe two days a week, and we're learning everything from the presidents to the months of the year, from what slavery means to what apostrophes are, from what the civil war was to what the word "should" looks like. (And seriously, of all those things, I'm most concerned she'll never fully remember "should." It doesn't seem to be making any impression in her mind.)
Me: "What's this word?"
Phoebe: "Said!"
Me: "No. Sound it out, and remember that the "L" is silent."
Phoebe: "Shh-uuu-dd... shall!!"
And so forth and so on. You get the picture. Never has so little been misread so much by so few.
Anyway, today we talked about a president's limitations, and what he can and can't do.
Me: "And sometimes, presidents get impeached."
Phoebe: "Oooh, I like peaches!"
