Me: "Eme, is that homework"?
Emerson: "No, I'm practicing math because we're having a test on Friday!" she replied enthusiastically
Me: "Did your teacher tell you to practice?"
Emerson: "No"
Me: "Do you get a something special if you do well?" I asked curiously. Really why else would a kid practice math?
Emerson: "No"
What???? She did three pages of math. Notice in the picture...she wrote her own story problems...in Spanish. Yes, a couple of the answers are wrong but still, what kid does this for fun? I certainly didn't do this as a kid. Especially if I didn't get anything out of it! Must be from the Mitchell side of the family!!!

Yea that sounds like something that Graham probably did as a kid... I hated word problems, so it seems extremely odd that a child (your child no less) would actually be making them up! Too funny.
Totally a Mitchell thing! That's hilarious! I need to show Aaron this post - he would be so proud:)
P.S. He told me the other day that I probably wouldn't be a "real" Mitchell until I wrote a report on something I was interested in - just for fun...yeah right!
