A New Meaning for "A Loss for Words"

As part of 4th grade homework there are plenty of word searches. Noah generally dislikes doing them so they become a family effort. Last night Matt was teasing Noah after he was in bed, that he had forgotten a word and that he needed to go back downstairs and find it. He let Noah sweat for only a minuet or two and then told him he was kidding.

Later that night we heard Noah talking in his sleep and Matt went in to check on him. He was sitting up in bed looking through his blankets. Matt asked him what he was looking for and he said he thought he saw some words from his word search in his bed, but they were gone now. Matt felt bad for teasing him, but it was very funny.

Ha ha! Gives me an idea. Maybe this tactic should be used in lieu of time-out. Finding words in word searches that really aren't there! That would drive my kids crazy!

BTW, Gwen and I set up Kelly's blog today. It's www.dkarn.blogspot.com (I think!) You can always access it from mine.
