Rubbers were short ones that slipped over the shoes - right?<br />They were kind of passe when you were growing up - more in our times. Let me know if I'm rigt.<br />Marking all the school items - wow- bet that took a long time.<br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-31076840227520145522007-01-21T17:11:00.000+02:002007-01-21T17:11:00.000+02:00ERASORS!

Luckily Skyer and the rest of your brood have you and Rich there to help them. I think it's too late for my husband.<br /><br />(but it would have been much funnier to hear other comments if it hadn't been given away on the first one!!!)Gaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773350184591543053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-63548517262879548722007-01-19T22:34:00.000+02:002007-01-19T22:34:00.000+02:00When I asked Skyler what she was referring to she ...When I asked Skyler what she was referring to she said, "You know the thing you use to 'rub out' the pencil marks when you make a mistake." So yes, it is in fact an eraser....and we decided we would keep with the 'American' way of saying it. :-)michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11732461759449365762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-52815598361754982082007-01-19T21:49:00.000+02:002007-01-19T21:49:00.000+02:00I thought she needed boots.

My suspision was erasers before reading the BIG give away. You must have a few of those laughs along the way. Even as our kids grew up they got a few words confused and we found ourselves having a private laugh at their expense only to tell them about it years later :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-43722232882392369272007-01-19T18:51:00.000+02:002007-01-19T18:51:00.000+02:00My first thought would be to myself, inside my hea...My first thought would be to myself, inside my head "I do not think that words means what I think it means." Then I'd ask him what a rubber is... hoping, in faith that it's an eraser or something. And seeing rae's comment above (she gave it all away) I think I'm right.Karenkoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458924226091801430noreply@blogger.com
