I was missing my little brother, which of course led to a phone call last Friday afternoon. When I talk to my brother, I sometimes have a hard time having a conversation with him because it can be difficult to figure out what would be mutually interesting. This time, I asked a selfish question: how is your new English class. His interest in the conversation surprised me however.
Once he started talking, in a very The Office type tone, he asked, "Sarah, when you're going to say, 'I'm going to the movies' is it 'to, t-o, too, t-o-o, or two, t-w-o'?" I was laughing to myself, as any good English teacher would. He then followed by stating a hyperbole (an exaggeration) and then asked me to identify it. He said, "I learned all the figurative language this week." I wish I could mimick his serious tone in writing, but I can't quite capture a 16 year old version of Dwight.
Love you Jo!
