What He Learned in School

After school today Shelly asked Eli what he learned, he said "nothing!" She switched tactics and asked him what he DID at school today. We learned about how he just played all day, and he got to eat outside. It was a very productive day, it seems!

After dinner tonight, Elijah suddenly revealed that he DID learn something after all...

E: When I grow up I want to be a teacher. 

Me: Oh really? Why?

E: Well because teachers can count really good. And they can tell everybody what to do.

Shelly: Well if you're going to be a teacher you have to be friendly. 

E: Well I AM frienee!

Shelly - giving me a look like "yeah right!"

Me - Looking back and forth between the two and wondering where this conversation will take us next!

That's a "First Day of School" crown on his head. He proudly informed me that he colored it himself, when I came to pick him up.
