That's a great DAM BRA

One of the great thing about homeschooling older children is there sense of humor. I just commented to dd that it is funny to watch the Brazilians and the Americans playing beach volleyball in the Olympics because the Brazilians shirts say "BRA". Obviously, it is an abreviation for the country name, but it reminds me of when I had everything labeled for my young readers. So I mentioned it to my dd, she thought it was funny too, but reminded me of one of our favorite puns. While traveling with my husband in Denver, we visited the Denver Art Museum. We had a wonderful visit in the museum and then as we were leaving, dd says "DAM that was great art." I looked at her shocked. Just as I was about to let her have it for her poor choice of words, she interupted, probably knowing that I was not happy, "Mom," she pointed into the gift shop, "see 'DAM that's great art'". There it was on t-shirts, cups, and other paraphanalia. Now that was funny - Denver Art Museum - DAM.
