The Dike
Teendaughter walked in on a story I was sharing about someone using the word "dyke."
She quickly interjected, "I do not use that word."
Husbandman asked her, "What if you were in Holland and you were near some canals and you were actually near a structure that held back the water?"
"Still wouldn't use it," she said confidently. "I find it disrespectful."

I've had a cold which is a good excuse to lounge on the couch and read. Just finished Lorrie Moore's new novel, "A Gate at the Stairs." Highly recommended for both you and Teen Daughter if you haven't read it already.

p.s. Did you see that much of the TAWL listserv is on fb now?
