No exaggeration!

Warning: I’m about to brag on my kid. Sorry. It’s a parent’s job every now and then. Saturday morning, kids are in the back seat discussing the latest books they’re writing. Yes, I know. They’re 8 and 9. Anyway, I’m trying to keep my big white lab sitting down in the front passenger seat, while I drive, and at the same time not let the dog knock over my coffee mug and my daughter’s hot chocolate. So I’m not really paying too much attention to what my kids in the back were saying. When I heard, “That’s hyperbole, Caroline,” I looked in the rearview mirror and almost missed my turn. Yep. My son used that word. I asked him if he knew what it meant. Yep. He did. He’d learned it in grammar at school. So there you go and that is no exaggeration!
