Saturday afternoon. We have half an hour before the softball game. (Yes, we actually managed to get a few in between storms and rain) Kids have been playing outside and helping with our back yard all day. C wanders into my room and says, "Mommy, I'm bored. Can we maybe do some math?" I was tired, and didn't really want to. I said, "Well are you sure that's what you want to do? I was letting you have a two week break." C replies sadly, "Oh. Okay. Well if you don't want me doing math it's okay."
What was I thinking? Why should I turn her down? Isn't that the cool thing about homeschooling? I can teach her what I want, when I want, and we can spend as much or as little time on things as we want.
I said, "For a kid that hates math, you sure seem to excel at it. It was your highest grade for 3rd grade, and you do each lesson so quickly." She said, "Well, I like it when YOU teach it Mommy." So we did math. : )
