the opposite of what?!
Here's Dennis, insisting on sitting in a beanbag chair at the library so that he could read one of his books before leaving ("we can't go yet--I always have to sit on the red beanbag to read my book first!!"). Luckily it was a short book.
I looked in his school folder today and found a worksheet he'd completed about opposites. So all day long, we asked each other to name an opposite of something. He could answer most everything I came up with, but I got into a bit of a snag when I asked him what the opposite of "top" was. He replied "bottom--HEY! What's the opposite of penis?". Quiet reigned at the extended family dinner table. I finally said "I'm not ready to tell you about that." He said "silly--the opposite of penis is BOTTOM!". Good answer. But when Gran walked out just seconds later, I told him to ask her. He did, and she stumbled over it just like I did. She was relieved when he gave her his answer.
