Preparing for a test at Scrivnerburg Academy:
Mom - "What two materials were used to make linsey-woolsey fabric?"
Nathan - "Wool."
Mom - "And...?"
Kristi - "Wildcat."
...
Mom - "Okay - what material was used for the 'LINSEY' part of 'linsey-woolsey?"
3 kids - "Thread."
(at the same time) Austin - "Eisenberg."
Hmmm...for some reason I'm thinking no one is getting this lesson.
(And just in case you don’t know, it was linen and wool, as the name would suggest.)
Random convo with Kristi:
Kristi - "Mom! 36+46=82!"
Mom - "Yes! Hey - 27+34=61!"
Kristi - "Yep." then she walks away as if we just had the most insightful discussion. Funny girl.
My special Kristi was just talking to me about Japan - the earthquake and tsunami, and how the people are doing now. We had a serious conversation about how terrible that was, and that people are still trying to recover. Then, in a perky and curious tone she asked, "How's Canada doing?" I'm so glad she makes me laugh!
