Miss Simile

Similes have always been hard for me and I have always envied people that could wing them off like so much…I don’t know what.

See!? Fercryin’outloud I can’t even come up with one while I’m writing.

I wouldn’t be surprised if more than 30% of the time i spend writing big posts (over 300 words) on this blog was spent laboring over metaphors and similes. It’ crazy. I’m like a something or other in an I don’t know what.

So is it in any surprise that when my four year-old mermaid pops one off like a…really…clever simile maker (arghhhhhh) I get really jazzed up?

She’s so skinny she’s a size of a fishes foot.

Wow…just wow.
