On the morning of the get-together, Connie rowed her purple canoe up to the Canoe Dock with a brilliant idea. "Come on down to the water, everybody! Conjunctions are a junction with a function, no compunction or dysfunction, joining words and word groups, oh my! Today I'm joining boats, too."
Roger tied up the rowboat Jake steadied the paddleboard, the morning breeze was gentle. Connie waved the swimmers over the cove was calm enough to share. "Everybody raft up," she called, " two boats are better as one!"
Then a platypus belly-flopped off the dock splashed everyone in the front row. Up on the shore, Nelson pretended the platypus wasn't his the giggling gave him away. Connie laughed so hard she nearly tipped her canoe she caught the rail just in time.
"Hold the ropes steady we tie the boats together," said Connie, " the wind picks up again." The rowboat the paddleboard finally nudged side by side. The whole lake cheered, Connie beamed. "Now THAT is a sentence with everybody in it, I wouldn't change a word."
