Vocabulary

Thobe is quite the kid. He turns a whopping decade this month, which seems almost unfathomable to me. The kid is crazy smart too. He always amazes me. I have had the pleasure of homeschooling him for the past two years and have loved being able to gain an understanding of his strengths.

Perhaps his strongest academic ability is his vocabulary. He is always saying things that surprise us and make us ask him where he learned that word. A couple of days ago, we were in the car, and he said, "Mom, I have a plurality of green puffles in Club Penguin." I asked if he said he had a plurality of puffles, and he said that was indeed what he had said. 

I said, "Thobe, what does plurality mean?"

"Well," he replied, "it is not the majority, like over 50%, but I have more green puffles than any other type of puffle."

Admittedly, I'm not sure that I could have used the word plurality correctly, and even if I could, I don't know if I could have defined it as well as he did. He's pretty amazing.
