I'm Stupid: Scientific Documentation
Well, great. Now I know who's been tutoring the dog. It's Nephew!
Got his report card. It's all E's and S's and S+'s. (That's Excellent, Satisfactory and Satisfactory Plus, for those of you out of grade school. Good God, I hope there's no grade schoolers reading this. I'm not talking about anime or basketball, kids! Move along! Nothing to see here! Go text message your friends -- I think they went to Starbucks without you!)
I hope Older Sister doesn't show those grades to Mom. He's totally showing-up all of her children. Pfeh. I'll bet he gets picked first for kickball, too. Show off! You think you're so cool!
Oh, and? He likes to keep sharp by spelling everything he says, like entire sentences. He'll be all, "C - A - N - W - E - P - L - A - Y - O - U - T - S - I - D - E - W - H - E - N - Y - O - U - A - R - E - D - O - N - E - C - L - E - A - N - I - N - G ?"
And O.S. is like, "Wait -- let Mommy catch up! ...Which yout's have redone what now?"
He's certainly come a long way from "He wanted a bigger sun and there was a bigger sun."
Then O.S. was giving him vocabulary words to spell, and she got to, "Spell as."
And he's all, "I'm not even gonna answer that one."
One time, Younger Step Daughter asked me to help her with her homework. Yes -- one time. She asked, "Can you help me with this math problem?"
I took a quick look. "Um, no."
She laughed cuz she thought I was giving her a hard time, "No, really!"
"No, really. I can't. I don't even know what those symbols mean. Wait -- I think I recognize one -- is that a seven?"
"I'll ask Dad."
She was eleven at the time.
No wonder the dog is gaining on me.
