8s and 9s

Mr. Ashley: Ms. D says you need to work on your 8s and your 9s.

Big Kid: She said dat?? In my homework foder, she wrote dat?

Mr. Ashley: Yes, it looks like you need to straighten out the line on your 9s.

Big Kid: I'm dest mad at my teatser now. I can't believe she said dat.

Mr. Ashley: You can't be mad at her. She even wrote a smiley face, she's not being mean.

Big Kid: (sitting there stewing silently)...I'm writin' a note back, is what I'm gonna do. Wif an exwamation point at da end.

Mr. Ashley: You most certainly will not. You would never. You don't get on your teacher about this.

Big Kid: It wouldn't be a mad exwamation point, dest an excited one.

Mr. Ashley: No notes, no exclamation points. At all.

Big Kid: (more fuming)...Mudder, get me an eraser, I'm erasin' what she wrote. I'm dest so mad at her.

Mr. Ashley: Don't have a bad attitude about this. Don't you dare erase her note or write her back.

Big Kid: 8s and 9s are dest hard. My 8s and 9s are fine, dey are lookin' good. I'm startin' over. I need a whole new maf book. I can't bewieve she did dis to me.

Omg I love a good BK story! He must be some kind of genius, just the way he speaks and the things he comes up with are so much more involved than other kids his age! I think we're about due for another Little Kid story too, since you've gone back to work they've kind of been a lacking... I know you have to work, but, just sayin... How're the eggs doing? Will we have chickens in the closet next week?

Aw! That conversation made me smile ear to ear - maybe having a little one wouldn't be so bad - I mean - they sound pretty entertaining. ;) JK

That kid is going to grow up to be someone AMAZING, isn't he? (Not that he's not already damn amazing now.)

LOL! I would not have been able to keep from laughing. It's a good thing this conversation was with Mr. Ashley so you could turn away and hide the hysterics.

Has he recited his alphabet backwards for her yet? I'm sure she wouldn't question a single thing after that!!

Kids always have a few bumps when they start wanting to set up boundaries. We are going through it with the bedroom right now. We tell her to make her bed or pickup her clothes, or that candy/food isn't allowed in her bedroom... and what we get is skull and crossbones signs with keep out or "can't touch" on her door and throughout her room.

Which, gets her room examined even more :)
