Grammar School

The kids are out of school today and tomorrow for the NJEA Teacher's Convention. We took the opportunity to take them to the Philadelphia Zoo. I love the zoo. DJ loves the zoo. Zoe loves the zoo. Noah says he loves the zoo but in reality, spends the entire time reading the zoo map, complaining that he is too cold/hot/tired/thirsty/hungry and asking when we are leaving.

Today was no different. Noah, however, has evolved. He picked something else to obsess about today. Today's target? A sign on a door for an exhibit. It read, " Please use other door". Noah eyed it, read it aloud and then said, " Well, that doesn't make any sense!" I was a bit puzzled because Noah is pretty smart, but I explained the sign's meaning to him.

Noah rolled his eyes and said, " NO! I mean, it doesn't make sense. Shouldn't it say, 'Please use THE other door' ? There's no THE in the sentence!!"

He wouldn't let it go. That and the hunger. So, we left after a relatively short visit. Thankfully we are members so we didn't feel like we were cheated.

**UPDATE** While transferring the pictures from the camera to the computer today, I found, much to my delight, that DJ took a picture of the sign!! YAY! ( He was actually taking a picture of the whole building, because he liked it, but I was able to crop it with photoshop so we could see the sign)
