Q'ute Quote...

The Fourth grade is a great deal about the history of California, beginning with Father Serra and the missionaries, along with the Spaniards, coming here over 150 years ago--and then what has happened progressively since. It is always a struggle to get the homework done before the excitement of a big night, and last night was no exception with it being OPen House. Niko needed to study for his History exam, and just did not want to do it. Ever thing I went over bounced off him, leaving nothing to sink in. I could tell his head was already at fun time but he needed to study. I said, "Niko, if we don't get this done, we won't be able to make it to Open House. Please try to focus." We went on, and by this time, he was on the floor, holding his head, groaning in misery, "I don't want to stu-dyyyy!" I laughed and said, "Niko, this is the easiest chapter so far this year. They even talk about Tony Hawk, The Beach boys--easy stuff. All history is is memorizing." He threw his head to the ground and I hear my boy say in a muffled voice, "History is easy for you to remember because you were alive during most of that book!" :>
