"The Power of Words"

Words and what they can do, has been described and discussed throughout history.  Used correctly they remove the gap between the effluent and pauper.  Mark Twain once stated, "The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."  But the power of words was demonstrated to me in this way.  As the preschoolers lined up to board the bus I did a quick survey of the little ones.  A small girl with bouncy little pig tails and a sweet little smile stepped forward to explain to me why one of her class mates had gone home and would not be riding the bus.  "Mr. Brandon," she said with a serious look " he had to go home he had diary."  I guess he was moved by the word.
