ImageSMART TALK
by Dr. Dot Pilcrow



FALL DOWN: If we're linguistically impaired, we teach redundancies to our children before they can even talk:  "Awww, did you fall down?"

Aren't we lucky the little tyke doesn't retort, "Hey, I sure didn't fall up!"

Instead, the dear heart grows up to learn to rappel down a cliff, hoping to drop down before and eagle swoops down. As the day cools down and the fire dies down, our subliterate offspring writes down the day's exciting adventures.

Our hearts swell up with pride.
