So one of my 10 year old boys is struggling in math. Not the best subject for me to help with, but really if I can't figure out 5th grade math, I should be ashamed and mocked in public.... Anyway, I had him bring me his lowest graded assignment and as we went through all the missed problems, I realize that he got a lot of them wrong because he DIDN'T READ THE DIRECTIONS!!! Really?!?! That afflicts young boys? I just figure that was a guy thing when they start driving, heading out on road trips and scoffing at their silly wives for even suggesting that maps might be a good idea. :) My 10 year old has proven to me that they must be born that way. But until they can use it in the car or when they are building bikes at 2 a.m. on Christmas Eve, they just do it to self destruct in math... Awesome....
Have an awesome weekend, I plan on watching "Once Upon a Potty" at least 1800 times with the shorties. :)
