"For we do not do that, that is why."

Verily, Paul hath spent far too much time in church as a child, for these lamentations he doth find hilarious.

Overheard just before dinner:
I like science experiments, but these have just gotten out of control with coolness.
Quoth Maya, raving about circuits.

Semicolon lover Kathy just found out that Maya, like Bryn, has used the highly-regarded punctuation mark. Maya told Kathy that a few weeks ago, when her teacher Mrs. Caulkins was absent, the class had a substitute who wrote on the board "Mrs. Caulkins is absent today. Mrs. Elson is our substitute." The sub then asked the class how those sentences might be combined, and Maya raised her hand, replying "With a semicolon."

Like Bryn, Maya originally instructed Kathy not to blog her feat. She relented, however, giving permission with the proviso that Kathy email Mrs. Caulkins with a link to this post. A small price to pay!

Bryn has used a semicolon in her writing for the first time. In response to the prompt "Describe how a compass works," she wrote:
A compass needle is a magnet; it responds to the Earth's magnetic poles, not geographic poles.
Kathy, semicolon lover that she is, grabbed Bryn's paper and tried to run off to blog the milestone. Bryn, modest person that she is, grabbed the paper out of Kathy's hand, wadded it up, and refused to relinquish it.

After listening to Kathy plead for several minutes, Bryn sensed an opportunity: "You can blog this if we can go out to dinner to celebrate." Nice try, kid. Finally, it was agreed that Kathy could blog the semicolon use if Bryn could have extra reading time. A good deal all around!

Bryn and Maya got $20 gift cards from Barnes and Noble:
Maya: That's a lot of money.
Grandma: You don't have to spend it all at one time.
Bryn: Yes, we do!
Maya: Of course we do!
Good thing they got a new bookcase, too!

Bryn:
You can never have too many books. You can only have not enough bookcases.
Merry Christmas!
