Open house night

We attended our school’s open house again last night. I always get a kick out of the projects posted on the walls. One of the projects was a “Meet My Parents: Through a child’s eyes” page the kindergartners wrote. Some classic stuff.

Flattery will get you everywhere, kids:

My Mom is 20 feet tall and weighs 8 pounds.
What's the one thing that grosses you out about your parents:
My Mom likes to eat: vegetables
An insightful summation of the state of teacher compensation in California:
My Mom's job is: being a teacher My Dad's job is: to make money
Finally, what my son thinks we do:
My Mom's job is: working My Dad's job is: staying home and taking pictures
