A friend emails:
an assignment from me…. get something in your ‘on raising
kids’ category that isn’t about catastrophes, ok? <bg> Lessee, sids
study, finnian falling in the fire, poison control…..
OK, OK.
Revelation of the day: It’s easier to teach math your kindergartener if you put your toddler in a high chair at the same table and give him some work of his own to do, instead of ignoring said toddler while he pours milk on the floor, or instead of interrupting the lesson every thirty seconds to respond to the toddler’s activities.
But you knew that, you say. Well, some of us are slower than others.
