Word Prompt

Tinker

Challenge

“Why can’t the English teach their children how to speak?” lamented Professor Henry Higgins and later added, “Americans haven’t spoken it for years.” Although I was born and raised in these United States, I often feel his pain. 😉 So I give you my 75 words entitled,

GRAMMAR POLICE B.O.L.O.

            “Joe and me had a great time today in the park.”

            “Mary laughed at Joe and I.”

            What’s wrong with this picture?

            Let’s tinker a bit with those two sentences and see what happens when we eliminate “Joe and” from the equation.

            “Me had a great time today at the park.”

            “Mary laughed at I.”

            Truly, I’m not trying to be obnoxious, but it is something for you and me to consider, don’t you think?
