Today I was thrilled Justin felt well enough to join his class at school for a fun outing of sledding and hot chocolate. He was not able to attend fall or Christmas activities.

We were both happy and smiling.

Then.

About an hour later, it was time to finish his school work for the day.

Me: Give me an example of a verb in a sentence.

Justin: Justin kills mommy.

Well, he did use his verb correctly. This is called a drastic mood swing of a child on way too many steroids. And, one, who apparently doesn’t appreciate a stellar grammar lesson.

I’m gonna choose to focus on the successful sledding portion of the day while I continue laying siege to this mountain of laundry. Grace be with you, my friends.
