English is hard….
Hannah was telling me about the list of items the teacher requested for a granola recipe.
“It says shelled sunflower seeds but I think she means unshelled.”
“Oh, so she wants the shells on?” I asked.
“No, shells off.” she replied.
“Shelled, means shells off sweetie.”
“Oh” she said, but she had that look on her face that said ‘who makes up these words”?
I am really going to miss these times. They make me smile.
