Last night I was helping my 7 year old son do research on Tiger Sharks. All he had to do was write 5 measley sentences on Tiger Sharks! AUGH. So we are out there searching on the web. Lot's of sites - he can't come up with 5 little sentences...
Me: Why don't you write what they look like?
him: No, I already know that.
Me: Well, maybe not everyone knows that...
him: Yes, mom, everyone knows that - except for kindergartners - 'cause they don't read.
Me: (sigh) Well, why don't you write what they eat.
him: No, they just eat people and stuff...
Me: (grinding teeth) So write that.
him: No, I don't want to write that either...
Me: (clenching jaw) You have to write something, what else are you going to write - WRITE SOMETHING NOW!
So this just goes on and on...he ended up throwing down 5 quick sentences that I forced him to write because it was getting so late. This is what you other parents of little ones have to look forward to. Get used to the idea now.
Besides that though, I did learn some interesting tidbits on Tiger Sharks. :)
