Somebody Pinch Me

[Mark Mc]

Here it Friday evening 5:30 and my 10 yr old daughter is voluntarily doing math homework....zero prompting from mom or dad. Whatever happened to waiting until Sunday night to start homework? I am both flabbergasted and proud.

Hehe.....now that thar is funny!

But....I already spoil her rotten. What else could she possibly want? (insert dunce hat here).

Oh, the part about "wait until she's 12"..... I have been warned about that.

Mark, I got two in the house over 12...you can borrow them if you want real life experience. Nevermind, buy a video camera and let your wife help you "be surprised".

I have never in my life seen someone get upset because their school bus gets to school right on time which does not give her enough time to get to her locker before the bell. I mean U P S E T....like I heard about if for 3 days now. I made the BIG mistake of saying, well take your first class books home with you so you don't need to go to your locker first. She was not looking for a solution

12 nothing, 16 and can I borrow the keys to the car or can I go on a date.

You might want to check to see if she has that birthmark on her upper arm. The aliens sometimes overlook the small things when they abduct us and send in the clones. : )

Good study habits pay back for a lifetime. Good on her and good on you for noticing.
