So it was spring break last week…
I cruelly made each child read and do a couple chores every day before they could play the computer. I know. I’m a tyrant.
Then Thursday night I made fish for dinner. Kate takes some of the skin upstairs to check it out under her microscope. Which is where I overhear this sequence:
“Not a few big scales…a bunch of little scales…in different colors, so the fish blends in with the shadows in the water…” She gives a disgusted snort. “I’ve learned more from this fish skin in FIVE MINUTES than I did that stupid history book ALL WEEK.”
