Mom, I set up the trays and have chairs and all of the books are on them and you will be the teacher and you have a chair and let's go!
Sure enough when I was finally concious enough, I found it just as he described. He had taken the TV trays and set them up for Eli, Ben and himself. He had all of the books out ready to go.
So we had school. We gave ourselves fake names just because that makes it so much better. I was Mrs. WormWood. Logan was Justin Beaver. Yes Beaver, not Beiber. I asked that specifically and he assured me that his name was BeaVer. Eli's name started out as Notebook Girl because she was late to school and that's the name Logan chose. She protested and changed it to a name more becoming a young lady like herself...Isabel. Ben was rolling his eyes through the entire thing and remained Notebook Boy.
We sang songs to start...."Today is a sunny day" sung to the tune of "Here we go loopdy loo". "The days of the week song" sung to the tune of "O, my darlin". At one point Logan got out the rolling pin because we had no ruler and every school needs something with which to smack students on the back of the hand, right? It was required that I give homework. So I did. I wrote I love you on a piece of paper for Logan's homework. He gave himself and A+++.
School broke up quickly so that Eli and Logan could organize another school day. Eli/Isabel was the Math teacher. Justin B/Logan was science teacher. Mrs WormWood/yours truly was the spelling teacher. School was held outside in the fort. Sunny the dog also attended. Notebook Boy/Benjamin declared himself to well educated to attend a school like this one and took the day off.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, Tree. I love this glimpse into your day. = )
Kids are so funny! A cousin introduced us to Justin when she was here for a visit. Thank you so much Madelyn! We have had many conversations since about musical talent and singing lyrics that are not age appropriate or outside of marriage appropriate. I guess those are good conversations to have with kids.
ReplyDeleteThose conversations are going to happen sooner or later.
ReplyDeleteEmma (who was born the same day as Madelyn, if I remember correctly) loves to watch the Sing-Off with me, so we have these conversations too.
