This is the best I had all week! Today, my daughter comes home, she forgot her lunch box at school again. Not a big deal, I tell her she is grounded until the lunch box comes home. Which equates to being grounded tonight, then tomorrow if she brings the lunch box home, she is good to go. That’s not my favorite though.
So she is doing her homework, she gets done and brings it up to my desk. We go over it together. The last math problem she has is this:
1,000 meters = 1kilometer
Tom and Isaac walked 2 and 1/2 kilometers along a hiking trail. How many meters did they walk?
Her answer, 2000 and 1/2.
I tried very hard not to fall out of my chair laughing. I corrected her and explained how to figure it out.
Simple moments in time like these is where we can really find joy in being parents.

Sounds like she wants to take shortcuts already. Very cute story
