| This was sort of the face he made when I told him he wouldn’t have recess all day |
This past Monday was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and I had to work. My daughter’s daycare was open but the public school was not. Therefore, I enrolled Will, 8, in a free MLK symposium for kids. It’s the same symposium he attended last year.
Or so I thought.
When I picked him up, I noticed this worksheet he filled out. After reading it, I wanted to crawl under a rock:
Will
But school, farts, and the dentist?
Also, what’s my kid learning in 3rd grade that he spells broccoli like “brockle”?
*Sigh* I think I need to sign him up again for the symposium next year! And spelling lessons.
He might be on to something about canceling the dentist, though.
P.S. I was impressed by a thoughtful disucssion Will and I had later that night. He told me about Dr. King going to jail, about bus boycotts, and he wondered if Dr. King had children. So he WAS listening to some part of the symposium after all!
I'm looking forward to more! I think what he meant by "farts" was "cancel global warming."
Lol, this is funny. I agree with Ali, perhaps he was trying to reduce greenhouse gasses with the 'farting' thing. lol.
Uh, yes, yes! That's exactly what he meant. He's gonna save the world one day, that kid.
I can hope, right?!
Hi! I came to your blog from "People I want to Punch in the Throat". This post is hilarious. I, too, have a 3rd grader that would probably say the exact same thing. Yes, she would be paying attention, but those would not be her "top priorities" to cancel – she would definitely want to cancel more "kid like" ideas!!
So fun.
Take care,
Jennifer
