What is dirtier?

"Dirtier means something has more grime, like when you spill chocolate on your shirt versus just a tiny drop."

Imagine you have two plates, one is full of messy spaghetti, and the other has only a few clean noodles. The plate with the messy spaghetti is dirtier because it has more stuff stuck to it.

• If something is dirtier, it has more gunk or mess on it.
• Think of your hands after playing in the mud versus just touching a little bit of dirt, the ones in the mud are dirtier because they have more mud stuck to them.

Let’s say you and your friend both play outside. If you roll around in the biggest mud puddle, and your friend only touches a tiny bit of dirt, then you are dirtier than your friend, because you have more mud on you.

So next time you're playing, think about who is the dirtiest, the one with the most grime!
