One Of These Things Doesn't Belong Here
Doodlebug and I were going through a workbook featuring many pages of illustrations this evening. In some of the illustrations you circled matching stuff, in some you circled things that did or didn't belong and in some you found things within the picture that were cleverly hidden.
One drawing was an outdoor setting, with a young lady swinging in a tire swing. The object was to circle things that didn't belong in the setting.
So I was going over the page with the child, vocalizing the things she was circling. It went a little something like this.
Correct! One of those flowers is a lightbulb, that doesn't belong. Right! The rope holding the swing is a snake, that might not belong. Uh-huh, forks don't belong in the grass. Yep, couches don't belong outside.
At that moment The Lady looks over and says, "Success! We live in Kentucky, and she knows a couch doesn't belong in the yard."
Good thing she gets the smarts from her mom.

I suppose there's a fine line between yard and front porch!
