Last week I had a frustrating talk with Liz about the dictionary. She doesn’t like it. When I suggested she use an actual dictionary, rather than an online dictionary, for one of her homework assignments, she made the most horrible face I’ve ever seen her make. For a second, I thought she might barf all over the dining room floor. How can you NOT like the dictionary? The kid is weird. Or maybe it’s a rebellion thing since I really like the dictionary and TW LOVES the dictionary. Whatever. Weird. Let’s celebrate Dictionary Day, which is the 16th, with cupcakes. Maybe that will help Liz develop a fondness for the great book of words.
Mini dictionaries for dollhouses are nice. But, even better, look at these vintage dictionary buttons – buttons made from pages of dictionaries. Wow. Damn, sold out – and here I was about to order them. I’m going to have to write to the seller and ask her if she is making more. I wrote, she replied and there are buttons available! I need these. This dictionary button isn’t quite what I am interested in but it might be something you would like. A National Dictionary Day button would work, though the design is a wee bit boring. Of course we can always go with the basic I heart dictionaries button, though not me – I don’t do “I heart”.
