One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for April 28, 2021

It’s because you’re older than they are, Ruthie. Or was it because the teacher was behind you wielding a ruler??

I’m going to have to add “badgical” to my vocabulary list…

ruthie’s language development appears have come a little from her grandfather …

Our 8th grade teacher would never slap you with a ruler, she used her hand. Bigger and hurts more.

I thought “badgical” describes a small black and white animal who performs supernatural feats.

I say so too Ruthie.

I remember becoming a safety patrol boy in the 5th grade. Oh!! that feeling of power. “Hey, you can’t cross the street till i tell you it’s OK!”

I’d say it’s badgical and bystical.

Ruthie likes being bossy

Blending two words like frenemy. Friend and enemy. Badge and magical. Great fun since the Jabberwocky.
