One day, Demetrius was playing with a tired PawPaw. They were riding in Demetrius's "car" which happens to be the king sized bed in the spare room. I think Wil might have fallen asleep when I heard Demetrius saying, "C'mon Paw Paw. We're here. Don't daudle now. C'mon on. Don't daudle! Hurry up!" I called Demetrius back to the sewing room where I asked him what he had said and he repeated it. Then I asked him if he knew what "daudle" meant. He said, "yes, it means to hurry up and come with me - don't waste time." Being amazed as I don't think I knew the meaning of "daudle" until I was in my 30's, I asked him where he had heard that word. He told me "on pbs.org". When I told the story to Uncle Ben and Daddy Luke, neither of them knew what it meant until I told them. Who says TV isn't good for kids???
