Carol Wells!

Carol Wells won coffee this morning with the following estimation of the meaning of the last post.

"I love the after dinner conversation with the lights  streaming from the trees , while feeling utterly full from the refreshments and good friends can’t help but find laughter in my   so unfunny jokes as my niece and nephew find their grandpa’s, who  is one of the last Old Masters, yet is also modern,   fish stories to be romantic in a way that only makes them yearn to be part of it themselves."

Sobremesa might be might new favorite word!  Below is the definition of sobremesa and the forgein words used.  They were first shared on Edudemic.  I'm also attaching a fun infographic that was shared their too.  Stay tuned for a vocabulary strategy coming this week!

  • Komorebi – sunlight that filters through the leaves
  • Jayus – A joke told so poorly and so unfunny that one cannot help but laugh
  • Goya – the transporting suspension of disbelief found in good storytelling
  • Sobremesa – the time spent after lunch or dinner, talking with the people you shared the meal with
