Proud and Frightened

The Boy was just talking to me. I don't recall much of what was said. I do recall something about "polymerization" and how he wasn't sure how to spell it so he used "fusion" instead. I got scared. The rest was all fuzzy around the edges.

Did I mention that he's 8? And in the 3rd grade?

I think in the 3rd grade everyone I know was concerned about Garbage Pail Kids.

I'm new here, through BE. Are you a teacher? I am amazed by the eight year old as well. I work with 8 year old's all day and I'm still trying to get them to grasp the concept of an opinion. Amazing.

Glomgold- I had a huge Garbage Pail Kid collection. I can't believe they're selling them again. I also can't believe my mom threw out my cards.

Janet- No, I'm not a teacher. I have the utmost respect for teachers because I don't know how they keep their cool when dealing with many little kids. I haven't the patience for that. The Boy is my son.

AKKKKKKK! That's scary/awesome at the same time. Start scouting tutors now, 9th grade is just around the corner and they assign tons of homework!
