Lessons We've Learned From Our Kids

It’s School time again:


  • Economics: In a feeble attempt to explain the concept of “cost” with regards to Disney tickets I tried relating it to something Jeremy seemed to already grasp: “Jeremy, do you remember how long it took you to save up your pennies to buy the Light Saber you got last week? Well it would take 8 light sabers to buy one ticket to Disneyworld”. After thinking for a second Jeremy responded: “That’s OK daddy, you don’t need to buy me 8 light sabers, let’s just go to Disneyworld instead!”
  • Logic: Daddy said that my saw is only for cutting wood. The dining room chair is made out of wood. Therefore…
  • Oceanography: If fishies can breathe in water, what do they do when they get thirsty? I wonder if they could breathe in my orange juice?
  • Memory skills: While a 4 year old may have a memory that goes back 5 years, his parents are often hard pressed to remember what they were talking about 10 seconds before they were interrupted by said 4 year old.
  • Bible: How can Jesus be the “Son of God” and the “Son of David” at the same time?
  • Geography: “Can we go to grandma and grandpa’s (in CA) after nap?
  • Physics: How can electricity “flow”, I don’t see any water in the light bulbs!
