Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 10, 2024

Just absorbing the lesson.

Hmmmmmm, yes..“conceptualising”

Big word for a small person. How old is Patty supposed to be?

That’s a big word for her

I always dream about grammar.

No pun in-tense-ded.

Why did the little kid put sugar under his pillow?

He wanted to have sweet dreams.

I dreamt of being a baker,

What type of dreams do hotels have?

Suite dreams.

Cheer up, sleepy Jean

Oh, what can it mean

To a daydream believer

And a homecoming queen?

(The Monkees)

Call it what you will.

Oooooh, good one. I’ll have to remember that.

She’s got good vocabulary.

Daydreaming, Musing, Pondering, Contemplating, Conceptualizing:

Can any word fully reflect what’s going on in one’s mind?

So she’s not a Daydream Believer?

Conceptualizing something other than the lesson.

If your using “conceptualizing” correctly in a sentence at your age, you’re doing ok.

At least Peppermint Patty isn’t falling asleep in class this time.

Nice one, Patty! That might actually fly with a teacher whose vocabulary consists of “Wha……wah…wah…”

Nice rebranding work, Patty :)

Good comeback. Peppermint Patty has a talent that could be useful as a press secretary/public affairs officer.

I loved those desks! The top pulled up and your books fit neatly inside! ;)

Crossword puzzles are educational, right Patty?

Oooooo. I like that answer….

me too! – I was just concep…… canceptue…….concaptu….. OK. I was daydreaming. Darn vocabulary.

That’s what is known as “spin”

Ideating!

Give her an A+ for knowing that word and how to use it.

Maybe the teacher is a really boring speaker

I think there are heavier dreamers in the class than her

I have to remember this! I just wish I had noticed this bit of wisdom when Charles Schulz first published it!

I hear ya Patty, Me too!

She was lost in a reverie.

Give her extra credit, teach. She’s good for it.

I love “Conceptualizing”!

As usual at least she’s being honest.

I did a lot of “conceptualizing” as a kid…just not in class!
