I miss my blogging!

I have #1 – nothing to blog ABOUT and #2 – very little time to blog.

So while I don’t have any photos, here is a funny story.

This morning the boys were giggling away about something. I asked what was funny. They shared a story with me about the art class they started this past Tuesday. Champ, 6½, says “Mom! It is so funny. The art teacher always calls herself a proper noun; she never uses a pronoun!” This is followed by rampant giggles and guffaws from the two boys. NOW – Champ has been really WORKING HARD [a/k/a struggling] with proper nouns, common nouns, and pronouns, so I asked him to tell me more… to make sure he had it right. He tries to tell me, but starts laughing really hard. Then he gets control and starts his story. “She says things like, ‘When you are done with your drawing, put your name on it and,'” laugh, laugh, big breath, “She says, ‘Put your name on it and,'” laugh, laugh, giggle, snort, “She says, ‘Put your name on it and bring it to Mrs. Jenkins.'” ROAR, ROAR, LAUGH, ROAR from both boys. Holding their sides they are laughing so hard.

O.K.

It dawns on me to ask, “Did you laugh like that in class?”
“OH YES!” laugh, laugh, laugh, giggle, guffaw.
“I asked her,” said Champ, “Why don’t you ever use a pronoun!” ROAR, ROAR, ROAR. They both bust up laughing and tears are rolling down Beau’s face. They are holding their sides.

*sigh* Thankfully she deals with homeschool goofballs all the time!
