Inflammation Mark

(Congratulations to Carolsue for winning the Shel Silverstein book & cd!)

So, the other day I am reading Zoe a book when she points to an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence. Our conversation goes like this:

Zoe - I know what that is.

Me - What is it?

Zoe - It's an inflammation mark.

Me - A what?

Zoe - An inflammation mark (with a disgusting tone that I should've listened the first time).

Me - Oh.

Zoe - Mrs. Green says that when we see one of those that we need to get really excited & raise our voices loud. You know, Mom. Like when you say Yahoo!

Me - Huh!

Zoe - That's why it's called an inflammation mark. So people will notice!
