I take every opportunity possible to ply our daughter's fourth-grade teacher with treats, such as chocolate, for occasions just like this.
Text from Mrs. L: Your baby just asked me why naive has two dots above it. I said I wasn't sure. I told her she needed to ask someone smarter then me and she said, "OK, hey Wyatt...."
Is it a coincidence that precocious is just precious with a couple extra letters? I think not!
P.S. By the time I picked her up from school my pre--cious daughter actually did know the name of "those two dots" AND why they are sometimes placed over vowels. Thanks, Mrs. L... I see a wonderful gift for Teacher Appreciation Week in your future!
