Young Enough to Learn
I was reading Donna's post about being fascinated by words, and I thought I'd share a kid story.
The other night I told our son my mom aggro radius increased every time I had to repeat what I told him to do.
He gave me a surprised look. "Do you even know what that means?" he asked.
"Why don't you explain it to me," I said, "and I'll tell you if that's how I meant it."
So he carefully explained a World of Warcraft monster's aggro range, and I agreed that that was how I meant it.
"What's your aggro radius right now?" he asked cautiously.
"About arm's length," I said. "Now GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH!"

Aggro radius. I gotta remember that. thanks!
Hehe cute :-) Wonder if we was like that at that age :-)
Awesome.
Just plain awesome.
I am so going to use that on my daughter who plays D&D! I wonder if I can throw it into the conversation tonight.....
I love it! I've got to remember that one; my aggro radius also decreases rapidly relative to the number of repetitions it takes to get anything done -- I wonder if my students would understand that one, too?
Oh, too funny. Hit them in their secret vocabulary!
Great news about that sourcing elsewhere.
