She reads very well for her age, but some words are still a little tricky. Hence this conversation:
"Lizzy, could you get me the little white bottle of spray medicine in the bathroom, please?"
"This one? The one that says, "Pain Releasing?" I mean, "Pain Revealing?" I mean..."
"Pain Relieving. Please do not release or reveal my pain."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I often forget that there are some things - especially brand names - than she may not know:
"I'd rather you used Scotch tape than tacks."
"Can't I use the clear tape?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And we must stay aware that her reading level does not always match up with her comprehension level... or her tolerance for scary:
"Goosebumps? Are you kidding? You know I get nightmares!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But she understands analogy and character archetype:
"Too Tall Bear is the Bugs Meany of the Berenstain Bears show."
