“Words are the Daughters of Earth…Things are the Sons of Heaven”

12 May, 2006
Posted in: Princess

Snap

Me: Stop pulling that elastic or it will snap and hurt you.

Her: Like a puppy that hasn’t been trained?

Me: Same word, different context.

 

Ball

Her: Daddy bought a ball?

Me: Yes, in the supermarket.

Her: A ball??

Me: Yes.

Her: Where, where is the ball?

Me: It’s in the hall.

Her: A ball for dancing?  A swirl of colour and a swell of music?

Me: Oh no, sorry sweetheart, a ball for bouncing and throwing.

Her: Ah, same word, different context.

And re the title, yes, we’re having a Samuel Johnson week, is there a problem with that?
