What I learned: There is a punctuation mark that incorporates an exclamation point and a question mark.
In an effort to negate the belief that being a stay at home mom is mundane and boring ("What did you do all day honey?" "Um, play with Avery...and..." Ok, so sometimes it is.), I decided to take note of things I learn throughout the day. There is always an opportunity to learn and my hope is that I can share the struggles, experiences and joys of learning and growing from the comfort of my own home. Discovery awaits!

Punctuation Mark
Tonight I was playing Outburst with my mom and Alex and Alex got the category: Punctuation Marks. He easily got all ten answers. He then proceeded to tell us all about this article he read about lesser known punctuation marks, one of them being the Interrobang. This is a mark that is both an exclamation point and a question mark. Why is it that no one knows about this particular mark? It seems that I have very often put a question mark followed by an exclamation point at the end of a sentence because I wanted to portray both meanings. However, since that is clearly not academic, I save it for things like personal emails and Facebook entries. Come to find out, there’s a REAL mark for this exact thing. Who knew‽
