Sophie and Sebastian
Welcome to the wonderful world of Sophie and Sebastian. These whimsical and delightful stories are sure to delight the whole family. Written in the nonsensical style of A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh, every adventure provides clean, family-friendly enjoyment without being preachy or overly moralistic. In each story, Sophie and Sebastian learn something new about our wonderful world. They also make some wonderful and unusual friends, including the old neighbours (Bert and Fran, Mrs. Wilson). In fact, one of the best parts of this podcast is the humorous and meaningful relationships that develop over time. Above all, the "Sophie and Sebastian" stories are a nostalgic and witty celebration of childhood.

Time for another Sophie and Sebastian story. Sophie recently broke her arm when she went sledding. Fortunately it was a minor buckle fracture, and she should be better soon.
I also wanted to write about people's favourite words, and the way words can start to haunt us when we think about them a lot.
Some of the more difficult words in this story are the following:
- Enjambment: when there is no pause at the end of a line of poetry but the idea spills over to the next line.
- Flibbertigibbet: a gossipy, talkative person
- Epiphany: a sudden realization or insight. Also, the Christian feast of Epiphany (Jan. 6) celebrates the revelation of Christ's birth to the magi.
- Serendipity: when something unexpected happens and it turns out really well.
So, what's your favourite word?
