Oh, that is SO cute! Beth had a great idea to print it out-- I might have to do that! That'd make me smile everytime I look at it Smile

E.G. went to a back-to-school night thingie -- basically just the teachers giving a little speech about how things are run in the classroom, plus handouts. (Kids weren't welcome, so he went to this one and sozlet and I stayed at home.)

He said that the teacher was talking about what a good group of kids she had this year, and told a story about a little girl who finished her work early and was helping one of her classmates (some sort of writing assignment). As the little girl was helping the little boy, a teacher's aide arrived, and asked the boy if he needed help. The little girl put up her hand and said pleasantly but firmly "I've got it," and went back to helping the boy.

No names in the story, but E.G. figured that HAD to be sozlet, and received confirmation from the teacher later on. Laughing

I bet this was a tough one to figure out. That so doesn't sound like her! Razz

A little girl had just finished her first week of school.
"I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother.
"I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!"

perhaps you'll want to fry up some brats and sozlet can picture them - INSIDE a human :wink:

I like how she made the surface of the apple look shiny. Did you teach that to her, or did she figure it out for herself?

It's almost as though it knows that, come what may, it will win in the end.

Super-cool art! Love Sozlet's color sense. And the uncomfortable human and the gleeful worm.

I like how she did the woman's shoes.

It's not a woman, it's a huoomen. The fun thing about Sozlet is that even her typos are interesting. They reveal a lot about the accent spoken in her family. What a shame that Sozlet's spelling will become all boring and correct in a year or less!

A shame, indeed. We'll have no idea what she sounds like then. (Thinking of the "piol"s she made when putting away the groceries.)

Not to corrupt the sozlet thread, but the duckie is into doing comics now. One I got a sneak peak at, titled "The Evil Kids vs. The Super Kids" had an "evil icream girl" character. The little faces on the characters slay me.

Wouldn't that be a perfect opener for a "Ducklet and Duckie stories" thread? I'd been wishing for one since long before I met the two. (I say this just FYI. No pressure at all, needless to say.)

Thanks, Thomas. I really should.

Go for it!

You're welcome to put your own stories here of course, but I would definitely love to see a Ducklings thread.

Hiya Heatwave, haven't seen you in a while!

Thomas, how else does anyone pronounce "human"? (Huoomen...) (Maybe hyooomen...)

Is it a typo if you are hand-writing? I think it's a plain ol' spelling error then.

She's been writing more and more of her own emails, and there's an automatic spell check program that flags errors, and it saddens me (or something) that she keeps trying to get a word "RIGHT." She'll say "how do you spell it???" and I'll say "I like that spelling" and she'll say "but is it RIGHT?" and I'll say "they'll understand what you mean" and she'll say "but is it RIGHT" and I'll say well usually it's spelled a different way and she'll say "HOW DO YOU SPELL IT THEN??" and I'll say sorry sorry it's... and tell her.

I have to figure out how to turn off automatic spell check in my email program...

I would have said the standard pronounciation is hyoooman; without the diphtong on houuu, and with a somewhat darker pronounciation of the second syllable -- man instead of men. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but huoomen seems like a prounounciation befitting a girl who says piol.

You're right of course. Sometimes I forget there are ways to write other than typing. Embarrassed
