Oxymorons Written by BarbaraB (10/22/2006 6:53 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, That was the..way she wrote., penned by Reeba

(American Heritage Dictionary) If you're working with kids and trying to get this concept across you can begin with something simple like hot ice because it's concrete.
