So I just did my first school project with my daughter. I have a genius for a child. She tells jokes now that go over my head. She is seven. I'm feeling panicky about the next couple of decades. How long can I fake that I know more than her?
Guess its time to throw out the trashy romance, vampire brain candy, self help and buy an encyclopedia. At least a thesaurus.
I was so nervous about her first school project I think I gave myself an ulcer. But she had everything under control.
So how does this relate to a mid-life crisis? I don't know. The penguins were tough...physics will land me in a hospital. Am I old enough to be doing school projects with my child. Clearly yes. It was fun though...playing with cardboard and glitter and clay.
I think I want my own penguin project. Except that I will call it the "create a diorama of what a clean house looks like". But that's a whole other blog post.
Peace.
For my oldest son's first school project, we had to do a book report on a cereal box... I don't know wny, it is JCPS, but ignorance and lack of patience made it all the worse! First, I glued the paper to the box....before writing the book report! You can imagine having to write on a frail, cardboard box, was not ideal. Anyway, we finished the thing--haphazardly--but done all the same. When I look back, I still think, "What the Hell JCPS?"
