Literary Groaner

Here's a funny conversation we had on vacation that shows how much Sunny likes to play with words.

We were trying to coax him to write longer sentences in his travel journal than "I like the museum" or "I went on the train". Sunny was arguing for shorter sentences and was getting pretty frustrated.

"But I want to write 'I like the museum'! Why can't you let me write 'I like the museum'?"

"We already explained, it's more interesting for people to read longer sentences. Why don't you use just ONE adjective about something you liked at the museum? Pick an adjective, and then we'll give you a tip for how to use it in the sentence. Besides, you already used 'I like the museum' yesterday."

"But I want to write 'I like the museum'! Why can't you let me write 'I like the museum'?"

Guy: sighing. "I guess we don't have a Balzac on our hands."

Me: "Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe we have a Hemingway instead."

Sunny: "Or a Milky Way!"
