The nephews have written back! Hooray!! If you’ll remember, I sent them some self-addressed stamped postcards with the mission to draw the first thing they saw. The orange is from Charlie – eight years old. I especially like the stinky sock. (It shows we are related.) Jacob – six – drew the popsicle, which shows that he’s a boy after Lloyd’s own heart. We’ll be playing another round soon!>

The misspelled word also resembles Lloyd.. haha! Actually, I STILL have trouble remembering how to spell ceiling. I mean, where does that word come from anyway? It follows the “except after C” rule, but still…
Lloyd says
c.1348, celynge, “paneling, any interior surface of a building,” from M.Fr. celer “to conceal, cover with paneling” from L. celare (see cell), probably influenced by L. cælum “heaven, sky.” Colloquial phrase hit the ceiling “lose one’s temper” is 1914

Lloyd says
“stupid person,” 1967, originally U.S. student slang, probably from earlier meaning “penis” (1964), itself probably an alteration of dick.
Beth says
Given that definition, can girls even be stupid?
Beth says
Ask, and you shall receive.
Beth says
Well done, Charlie and Jacob…well done.

Lucky boys, my aunt never let me write on the sheets!
