Quote #9
Josh has come to know dozens of individual words. To name just a few: horse, mare, cow, truck, car, walk, run, bike, Dairy Queen (also the initials DQ), deer, cat, dog, sub sandwich, turkey sandwich, hamburger, pancake […]. (9.23)
Josh has also written a novel and several volumes of poetry. We're kidding, but that list is impressive, no? P.S. It goes on.
