Ava And Pip (2014)
“Maybe I’m going to get off easy after all?
At dinner, Dad asked, “What’s an eight-letter word that if you keep taking one letter away, it will still be a word all the way down until it’s just one letter?”
Mom, Pip, and I had no idea what he was talking about, so Dad got out eight index cards and wrote one letter on each. They spelled S T A R L I N G. Suddenly I understood what he meant, and I went first. I took away the L so it was STARING. Pip took away the A so it was STRING. Mom took... away the R so it was STING. I took away the T so it was SING. Pip took away the G so it was SIN. Mom took away the S so it was IN. And I took away the N and it was…drum roll please…I!
STARLING, STARING, STRING, STING, SING, SIN, IN, I! Cool, right? But then I started getting attacked by questions.
1. Did I commit a SIN?
2. Will I get STUNG?
