 Oh, excuse me, Dr. Jill. I'm still picking up from the weekend. My house looks like a hurricane hit it. What happened? My family came for a visit. They have three kids under five. It was a three-ring circus. I know what you mean. I have some little nephews that are like that. And you gave me a good idea for a lesson. Oh, good. You can tell me while I finish cleaning up. Okay. You used two similes to describe the situation in your house. A simile uses the word like or as to describe someone or something by making a comparison to someone or something else. First, you said, it looks like a hurricane hit. We all know the strong winds of a hurricane leave many broken things. Yes, that looks a little like my house today. So, when you compare one thing to a different thing, you are using a simile. The other simile you said was, it was like a three-ring circus. Here's my favorite one. When the children are in bed, we say they are snug as a bug in a rug. I hope there are no bugs in your rug. And that's every day grammar.
