My students are writing a persuasive letter, trying to convince someone to buy them a certain gift for Christmas. Today, I was proof-reading MB's letter when I read the phrase, "This touch screen laptop would be the second best present I got since the day I was born."I simply asked, "Wow, well what was your FIRST best present?"
He replied, "Uh...being born." (Almost as if to say, "Duh, Ms. S.")
Um, amazing. Yes, of course that was your first best present. How underrated is being born. Today, I think we should all call our parents (if we can) to say, "Thank you for my first best present...me being born."
