Analogies

Lately at Nathan's baseball games, Adrianna brings her book and reads. She started out a slow and very reluctant reader at the age of 6 but my fears were put to rest this last year as books changed from something to avoid to her favorite way to spend her time. Whew. She has taken to reading The Boxcar Children lately and can read 2 books a day. These are small print, over 100 pages each. So this last game, she was engrosed in her latest saga and I was commenting to Franchesca that #1, a tiny little guy but one who can really run, was up to bat and we really needed a hit. Adrianna entered back into reality and said "He's just like jackknives, she smaller they are, the sharper".
