It just didn't make sense until I was learning another language. Other languages are more consistent, so it made more sense. After that I understood what they had been talking about with the diagramming.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I don't think I got sentence diagramming until about 9th grade. I was just glad to finally know what the heck the diagram that Laura Ingalls did for her teaching credential test was all about.

Yeah, the 90s have finally hit NC. A bit later than expected, actually. Nothing to do but crank up the AC, set taste buds to "margarita," and ride it out. Or move. 29 years in and I still haven't ruled out moving.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
smonster, that kind of sounds like a story that was on This American Life in the last year or so. Bananas.
I have never diagrammed a sentence.
And it's supposed to be 95 here today.

On that same page from Jesse's link is another link to this: Uptick in Rope Sales by Women, thanks Shades of Gray. Oi.
Okay, still need to go pack. I hate moving.

It's never too late for your first diagram, Jesse.
It's supposed to be 95 here in Indiana, too, and I am already dying of humidity. That's possible, right? But when I roll myself out of bed, my mother will make me apple pancakes. So.
