Vacation: Day 1 - The HORROR!
So this week my family and I are traveling. It’s spring break. We have grade school children. It’s what we do.
But while I’m gone feel free to still visit me over at Twitter .
I promise to be slightly entertaining and keep my cheering for the Oklahoma State Cowboys down to a minimum.
Wooooooohooooooo! Go Cowboys!
But before I go I have to tell you a little story.
My kids both do Kumon . Kumon, for those of you who don’t know, is an academic program that helps kids with Math and English. The kids who participate have homework every day, 7 days a week.
Yeah. It’s a hard sell some days to these kids of mine.
But they do it.
So today I finished grading my son’s Kumon, and told him to go put it up.
He fell down on the floor to his knees with his arms outstretched with a “Why is this happening to me?” look on his face. I half expected a “STELLLLAAAAA!” to come out of his mouth.
“What’s wrong?” his father inquired.
“My whole day has been like this.” he complained about to cry. “This has happened to me 5 times.”
His father now laughing, “Are you talking about getting your Kumon box out again and putting your homework away?”
“Ye-e-e-esssssss.” he cried. “This day has been horrible!”
Oh Lord.
I think the drama gene has kicked in.
I don’t know where he got it.
Oh and…
Go Pokes!!!
Post Note: When I read this post to my son his only reply was, “You know I pulled a muscle when I dropped to my knees. No really. It still hurts.” I swear. You can’t make this stuff up.
