One of the cool things about having older kids is that their school work becomes more interesting - and challenging. My daughter has been studying for a social studies test. She has to know the Preamble. We've been discussing all those phrases: "do ordain and establish," "for ourselves and our posterity," "insure domestic tranquility." Which phrase do you like best?

Thank God for School House Rock. We've been singing it. Do you remember it? I hadn't said it in years, but when prompted, I could sing it. I'm going to post it in the comments. See if you can remember any of it before you look.

Did you ever have to diagram it? No one diagrams sentences anymore. I'm actually looking forward to taking grammar classes again when I start my Master's. (I still haven't heard if I'm in.)
