Proper grammar has always been a big deal in our family. As a former copy editor, I can't help but correct the kids when they don't conjugate words correctly or use words they've just created to fit their modification needs. So when Andrew and I had the this conversation yesterday, I felt a little victorious:
Mom: Hi handsome!
Andrew: Mom! I am not handsome! I am Andrew!
Mom: But I think you are handsome.
Andrew: I am Andrew, and I just look handsome!
My handsome Andrew who at the tender age of 2 is beginning to grasp the concept of modifiers. And just for the record, I still think he is handsome.
