There are probably other abbreviations that follow this rule, but I do not know what they are. I think they are novel, but I am not sure when they arose, or where.; 11/25/13, 11:19 AM

I don't remember tormenting my father with nonsense.; 11/25/13, 12:19 PM
Ann Althouse said...: By now, the child must understand that the father enjoys getting material for his show.

She's a co-author of a script and she now knows it.

Thus, it becomes more surreal and less about the way children really are.

Which makes it less fascinating that a man is playing the role of the little girl.; 11/25/13, 1:42 PM

Even though I teach pre-K and think the kids are often hilarious, and sometimes profound, i could NOT WATCH much of THIS! the really funny moment in all this is that I was watching on my MacAir instead of my usual iPad, and I was touching the screen all over the place, increasingly frantic to MAKE IT STOP! Then I had a good laugh at myself.; 11/25/13, 4:37 PM
