Intangible

Kate: Pop quiz! Is "Go" a noun?

Dad: "Go" is not a noun; it is a verb.

Kate: A+. Is "Monster" a noun?

Dad: Yes, "Monster" is a noun.

Kate: Not really. Nouns are things and monsters aren't real.

I wish my students were that bright! Now teach her the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs so she can be as annoyed as I am by servers who deliver your meal and then say "Enjoy!" "Enjoy WHAT???" Enjoy my meal? The evening? The music? Myself? Come on, give me a direct object so that I know what I'm supposed to enjoy. Oh, am I ranting . . . sorry. Loves to all.
