Last one in is a...

Have some very entertaining new preschool students in the Thursday classes. I announced that I was going to start the clean-up music (Putumayo), so they could pick up the construction sticks. One little guy hollers, "First one to clean up is a rocket egg!" What a great image. Most four year olds now have never encountered a rotten egg anyway.

In the afternoon class the word for the day was "stylish". The four and a half year old girls were admiring each other's art* with, "Oooooh. Isn't Tiffy's painting stylish?", "Did you see Dharma's stylish picture?", "Boo-hoo! I wish my painting was as stylish as Octavia's!" Next week they will probably air-kiss.

Is a rocket egg like a quidditch ball?
