I picked Reagan (15) and Keaton (12) up from school recently and they were telling me about their days. I listened carefully but, as usual, I couldn’t keep myself from correcting their grammar and usage. I didn’t really interrupt, per se, I would just interject quietly the corrected word or phrase.
Keaton (exasperated): “I HATE having a mom who was an English teacher.”
Me (startled by her frustration): “What? Why would you hate that?”
Keaton: “Because everyone else’s mom, you tell a story, they just listen. My mom, you tell a story, she listens, you say something wrong, and she goes totally “VOCAB” on you!!”
