Egypt Day

Posted by Mugs @ 6:26 am in Family Print This Post Print This Post

All the children in Abby’s class had to make a presentation on Egypt. Abby and her friend made a display board and performed a skit on the job of the queen. My Mom helped Abby with her costume. It’s amazing what my Mom can do with a goodwill dress, gold Christmas garland and gold pipe cleaners. We attempted to straighten Abby’s hair, but it was raining and by the time she got to school her curls were at war with the pipe cleaners. Children from the other classes came to listen and if they answered questions correctly, they received a piece of candy. Gabe blurted out as many answers as possible and came home with a pocket full of lollies (couldn’t resist, Juliet). When I picked them up from school, Abby asked why other kids had lost their voices from talking all day while she was just fine. When the answer is glaringly obvious, do you say it?

    Sometimes it’s best not to say anything. Of course, I’ve had to learn that the hard way!

    When, exactly, did you learn not to say anything? I must have missed it.

    I had to look that one up, Juliet. I believe it is more British than Aussie, kind of like yourself. It had a very offensive definition, but I’ll assume you meant a rubbish heap.

    I’m not sure what slang dictionary you’re using, but the one I saw said a cack is someone with a good sense of humour.
