Here's Your Sign

On a recent visit with my son's family, I noticed that Linley, my second grade granddaughter had posted a sign on her door. It featured an old-school peace sign fashioned similar to the 1958 campaign for nuclear disarmament where the lines represent a figure in despair with arms outstretched. She had colored it beautifully.

There was no doubt who the intended audience for the sign might be. It was stated plain and clear. I loved how she went from the broad and general to the specific and pointed. From:

No Boys!!!

Three exclamation marks to add to the importance of that statement. Then, an underlined specific:

No Busting in Brother.

This girl knows how to stress what is important.

A bit more explanation was in order. After all, there was space to define the term peace.

Peace is silence.

(I love that invented spelling is allowed.) Then, more information for the intended audience:

Harris now shhhhhhhhh now gooo!!

(I also love how she knows to add letters to show that she is extending a word out.)

I wonder if the sign works?!?
