The New Grammar

[porphyry]

So I was reviewing some of Andrew's first grade work the other day. Just so everyone knows, we no longer have nouns (to say nothing of pronouns), adjectives (to say nothing about adverbs), and verbs (to say nothing of intransitive verbs). We now have, in the same order, the naming part, the describing part, and the doing part.

In other news, Sylvia has moved her kittens--perfectly natural instinct to throw off predators, I suppose--only this time I have no idea where she stashed the little buggers. I told everyone to listen up for pathetic mewling. I don't know why it's so important to me to know where they are. Me, a predator?

Nouns are overrated anyway. Should get used to writing without.

And also.
