See how all those fun verbs all end in the word ING? That’s what we in the English department call parallel structure. (okay, I’m not in an actual English department, but I like English, I speak English, and that really IS what it’s called)
So far, the verbs are:
- Learning – maybe this should be Schooling, because it’s about the kids’ learning, not mine?
- Eating
- Judaism
- Growing
- Thinking
- Baking
I may add more as time passes, but I figure those are the major categories. Except, like the old song says: “One of these verbs does not belong.”
What I need to know from you… if there is a “you” out there, in this pre-migration phase of this blog… is – what verb(s) would you like to see there at the top that would make them all parallel?

Note: I have NOT moved! This blog is NOT active. I do not intend to start posting here yet. But I am nesting, as it were, getting my new home cozy just in case. And even more embarrassing than cyber-nesting, I have parked another blog, too. Stay tuned!
I like learning better than schooling, since we really spend all of our time learning, not schooling. :)
ReplyDeleteUm.... Jewing? :)
Shuling?
Or switch to nouns??
Or different rooms? School room, kitchen, synagogue (that doesn't really work, though since most of Jewish life doesn't happen at shul - for us, anyway!)
That's the end of my brain....... Good night! :)
The "ing" words aren't really verbs, they're gerunds. I think verbal nouns + noun(s) = parallel enough.
