Word of the Day

Today's word is 'prequel'. What a great word that is. Only humans could come up with a word that means 'before' at the same time as it means 'after'.

I have just finished reading "The Blue Sword" by Robin McKinley (a la 'Beauty'), which has a prequel called "The Hero and the Crown". Echt fantastisch.

Sprout just celebrated his 18-month birthday yesterday. He no longer has a word of the day. In fact, he has left off single words and is making more and more sentences. On Saturday, he was saying, "She sell seashell inna seashore." It's too funny. That's my boy.
