Very short and defiently not as dramatic as most posts, but it belongs here. My son is 6. He hates writing homework. So much that he will do anything to get away from it. He'd rather do higher grade math then to do his writing homework, so of course when I messed up, he took advantage of it. I meant to say "Write 10 words and you can be done for today" but instead I messed up and said "Write 10 letters and you can be done for the day" so he wrote the first letter in each word and then declared proudly that he had followed my directions. I tried to correct him by saying he has to write the 10 words fully and he said "No daddy you said 10 letters I wrote 11 letters so Im done now." Then proceeded to go play with his brother while I stand here semi proud and a bit disappointed in myself.. ive raised a menace lol
