My wonderful, sweet daughter thinks that being educated is stupid and a waste of time. I've threatened her, "Do you want to grow up and work at McDonald's?" "Yeah, that'd be awesome." She said, with genuine enthusiasm. Well, there's one way not to do it.<BR/><BR/>Maybe, if they were monkeys you could bribe them out of the trees with monkey treats. You could have a little shoot set up at the kitchen table that sends out treats when they get the right answers.

All of our great climbing trees are, of course, right next to the county road--so extra supervision is required. Haha, I just got this vision of the boys being monkeys and you standing at the base of the tree saying "OK monkey's, it's time to come down from the trees and become civilized". <BR/>ROFLOL, my word verif is "lable"--not spelled right, but very funny.Ruralmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801771238637045987noreply@blogger.com
