Now about today, it is National Dictionary Day. I learned that just a few minutes ago from NationalDayCalendar.com.
I have two stories about dictionaries in my past.
The first as a child, this was in the olden days of not internet and party line landlines, I used to open the dictionary we had to a random page and write down on paper the words so that I could learn the definitions and spellings. Nerdy, I know, but couldn't get in any trouble doing it.
Second was as an adult and my son and his friend were in middle school. The got out a dictionary we had at home and tried to find a word I couldn't define. They failed and were impressed but I must tell you that it was a student dictionary so that made the task easier for me.
So, reader if you are out there, do you have any fond memories of school days and "real book" dictionaries? Please share, I would love to hear from you.
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
