Homework sentences

By Vita Forest

Actually not by Vita Forest – these are a selection of homework sentences from my class this week…  (the main focus were words that change their form completely when a plural is made).

“Men are different to women because they get head lice more often and have bigger feet.”

“Twins are very similar to each other.”

“One man wearing a bright orange shirt stood out in a group of men wearing black uniforms.”

“A teaspoon and a tablespoon have a similar shape.”

“The climate in Sydney is really hot and there is a bit of lighting (sic).”

“I watched some similar YouTube clips they were all about this dude that jumped off London Bridge.”

“Most people in my class don’t have lice.”

Thank goodness for that…

Overheard… at the Sydney Opera House

By Vita Forest

Max (on entering the concert hall of the Sydney Opera House for a large combined schools musical performance): Aw ma gawd! You know what scares me? That many kids with that many recorders!

It was actually very lovely.

Overheard… at the Madonna concert

By Vita Forest

As a couple of people squeezed past us, getting back to their seats.

“Sorry about this… Thanks…  Just getting some breakfast, I mean dinner.”

It was 11.15pm and the concert hadn’t started yet…

Overheard in Dollar King

By Vita Forest

Overheard

Strange man (further along the aisle as he picks up a novelty back scratcher): Hey check this out! (waves back scratcher in the air).
(Looks at me properly) – Oh I thought you were the missus. Now you think I’m the strange craa-zzeee guy! (waves his arms around and exits with a crazy cackle).

I was very understanding.
