Sonic

Had to pick up son from school today for a dental appointment...afterward had to go to my work to pick up something...on our way home, he said, "you drive WAY to far to work...you should get a job closer to our house"  I told him I liked my job and didn't want another job.  He said, "well you could just work at Sonic cause that's closer to our house and you could even wear skates to work!"    "Lol, well son, I guess that would be fun but I think I better stay where I'm at!"

Make your voice heard

Son has been studying about Martin Luther King at school and the impact he made on others.  After reading a story about him, he had to answer questions...

MKL gathered peacefully to demand change.  What are some other ways that people can make their voice heard?  ..."I guess I could just make a big speach!"

Contractions

 

My son is learning about contractions in school.  While he was at football practice tonight, I was checking his homework...see #5 below...he was supposed to make a contraction for "will not".  When he got home from practice, I asked him if he could tell me the contraction for the word "will not"...He said, I'm not real sure, but I thought it was "wilt"...you know, like, if you don't water the plants, they will wilt.

 

We had to spend extra time on that one tonight:)

 

Homework

"If we use the excuse that our dog ate our homework, our teacher won't believe us, but, if we say we were at the hospital all night, she will."....said with a sneaky giggle...

Book Fair

Today was the book fair at my sons school..

"Mom, I need about $50 today!"
"What for?"
"Today's the book fair and I want to get a book and a poster."
"If it cost that much, I don't think you need it."
"Well, can I have $30?"
"No, I'm not going to send you to school with that much money!"
"I can't believe you won't pay for me to read good books!"

Parent/Teacher Conference

Tomorrow is parent/teacher conference at my sons school. 

Before I put him to bed, I asked, "Son, is there anything you need to tell me before I see your teachers tomorrow? "
"Well, I did loose a ticket (form of discipline) today but you already know about that..."
"Ok, so I shouldn't have any surprises, right?!"
"Well, I did get in trouble in class today."
"Son...what did you do?"
"I was singing..."
"Son, you know better!  What were you singing in class?"
"I was singing 'I'm sexy and I know it'!"

This momma is dreading parent/teacher...his dad said thank goodness he wasn't singing "I like big butts!"
