Thanks for writing Tiffany... I had fun trying to correct your grammar by suggesting that your use of a hyphen after the 8 ("eight- and nine-year-old children...") was incorrect... Boy, did our viewers let me have it. I had to eat a plate of crow on the air, as viewer after viewer emailed to explain the virtues of the "suspended hyphen". That's what I get for trying to teach a teacher! I should have known better, as my wife is a 1st and 2nd grade teacher (though she's currently at home raising our four kids). I'll think twice before correcting a grammarian in the future. Thanks again for the email, and please share my thanks with your friend from Maynard for watching!
Sincerely,
Scott
p.s. Please don't correct this email for grammar, spelling or punctuation!!! ;-)
