Bryce's reader this week was Frog and Toad Together. He does a great job reading with expression. As we were finishing up the book on Friday, I noticed his next sentence.
"Shut up!" screamed Toad.
Without missing a beat, Bryce read, "Be quiet!" screamed Toad.
It would have fine if he read it as written. But I was quite impressed how he substituted.
Background: Growing up for me, saying "Shut up" was like saying a curse word. It was not said to us nor were we allowed to say it. Even today when I hear it, I inwardly cringe. Bryce and Aubree have been taught the same. It's a cute book, but I do wish different wording was used.

Life is a JOY...it's not always easy or fun...being a wife...being a mom...it's for Jesus
