Ying and Yang

I suppose this is how it goes.

Yesterday, the Girl child was in a pissy mood, fighting with her brother (unprovoked, even!)

This morning, she is up half an hour early, dressed already when I wake up.

The boy's teacher sent "make up work" home with him last night.  Of course, we ask the Boy, "Are you done with your homework?" his answer is "YES! Can I go play at the park?!?!"

Well, clearly he doesn't consider the "make up work", "homework"  Because the teacher didn't hand it to him and say "Brady, this is HOMEWORK"

Well, I got an email outlining his make-up assignment and asked him about it.  He had completed one of the 7 assignments.

Keep in mind, Fall break starts in 2 days.  Meaning quarter grades are due today.

SO- she gave him a GIFT by letting him make up the assignments at all.

WELL- the girl child realized that there was tension and the boy had to do the make up work this morning.

So what did she do?
She made eggs for breakfast.
She made lunch for the Boy.
She took out the trash for the Boy.
She took the trash can to the CURB for the boy.

All of this without being asked to do any of it.

Mommy was saying goodbye and said "So, being so helpful, huh?  What do you want?  There's got to be an agenda here."

The Girl child's reply: "Just to survive another day."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!  Classic

Also-
"Boy child, where is your lunchbag?"
"Oh, one is in my classroom because I forgot it last week, and one is... well I PUT it on the table my the TV, but it's not there.  SOMEONE must have moved it. I don't know- but I put it right there! JEEEEZZZ!"

As you can probably surmise, the table next to the TV is NOT where lunchbags go.  They go in the kitchen.  By all the LUNCH stuff.

Crazy me.

Everyone go out and have children now, OK? OK! :-@
