The word of the day is Plume, which is a bird's feather. Sometimes a plume is attached to the end of a quill pen. Obviously this requires some background.
My daughter Paige loves this character in children's books called Fancy Nancy. In the books, Fancy Nancy insists on using not just any pen, but a fancy pen with a plume. Being the good father, I read her the books over and over and over again, so I am very familiar with the fancy words that Nancy likes to use. The books obviously aim to expand the vocabulary of children, and I'm occasionally surprised when Paige blurts out big words out of the blue and stops me in my tracks. She even has her little brother Blake - who is three years old - learning to increase the size of his own vocabulary. It's amazing what kids can do ...
