Limerick Friday

I can't believe it's Friday already. My has the week flown by.

Earlier this week Owen discovered the word precarious and has used it incorrectly a few times since. It's so fun when they do that, but I promise I still correct him. I don't want him to be 30 years old and tell someone that their shoes are precarious, just because he likes the sound of the word coming out of his mouth.

Regardless...his interest and the wonderful sound it makes when small people say big words inspired this one.

A spineless lad Edward N. Farious
teased small folks and called it hilarious.
But one day his pranks
earned a kick in the shanks.
Now his stance is a bit more precarious.

Haha! This one made me giggle :)
I do love it when small ones play around with new words.

Isn't there a kids song with the word precarious in it. I can hear the tune...can't remember...Veggie Tales- Where's God When I'm Scared, the song about King Darius. OK, I'm fine now. Love the limerick. I'm pretty sure Owen will use precarious correctly when he's 30- funny.

Cute. The good thing is, he's learning the word. There are plenty of people that don't know big words and/or definitely don't know how to use them properly. If he walks on stilts one could say his shoes are precarious:) I know they're not really shoes, but close.

The bits and pieces of my days all stitched together, in hopes of creating something useful from moments that may have otherwise been thrown away. I'm a girl who blushes when you call her a woman, a wife who adores the man God picked just for her, a mom who can't believe God has given her this honor, a friend who strives to return the enjoyment she gets from those around her and a darn good dreamer.
