At some point every week, each boy brings home about 500 sheets of paper with schoolwork for us to "keep at home". I pilfer through it all and pick only the greatest of treasures to hold onto, since we'd have to rent a decent sized storage unit to keep it all.
This week, Houston's work, in the most classical Houston way, contained these golden nuggets...
Exhibit A
Apparently, he read a story in class that was set in a baseball field. The main characters were Dad, Mom, and Ronald Morgan. The question on the school work read, "My favorite part was..." To which Houston answered, "Win Ronald hit his Dad in the knee with a ball."
Nevermind a sweet family sharing an American pasttime. Bodily harm. The kid loves it.
Exhibit B
I presume with the arrival of Fall, his class is discussing things related to the new season. He brought home a list of three things he would do if he were a scarecrow.
1. scare the crows away dy making scary 'fases' (he still mixes up d's and b's)
2. watch the pumpkins so they would be safe
3. Make a 'nuter' scarecrow so I d't do all the wock
Translation of #3: Make another scarecrow so I don't do all the work
(we have some trouble recognizing r sounds and haven't quite grasped all the acceptable contractions yet)
But the funniest thing is that he would replicate himself to share the work with. But that is Houston in his purest form. He is more the foreman/bossy/supervisory type. However, boy's got a point, I mean, hanging on a stalk is exhausting and guaranteeing the safety of pumpkins is serious business!
