It's not always useful to have writers as friends—especially if you are a writer, and don't need help writing cover letters. But occasionally … well, the other day Scout asked me what "personification" is. And I immediately remembered the example my writer pal Paul described it to his young son Joe:
"The toilet threw up its breakfast."
"Oh, gross!" Scout said after a pause. But she'll never forget what personification means.
