Homework Assignment

Part of the boys' homework this week was to dictate a story and then read it back. Like everything else that happens around these parts, the boys couldn't have been any more different in their stories if they tried.

First I asked Shawn:

"Once upon a time, there was a princess living in a castle. I'm all done with my story now."

Cute, right? To be fair, this was the last homework page we did, so his patience for working was nearing its end. Still I think this is a pretty good indication of his personality--straight to the point. The end. I love that about my guy!

Jason took his story to a whole other extreme. (written exactly as he told it and punctuated as close to how he told it as I could get)

"Once upon a time a little boy named Jason went out for a walk to see the world and his family are cleaning up his house. Jason found a little girl name Layla and decided to marry her. Then they went to a ball and danced around and then at the end of the ball they went home together and mom and dad went, 'Oh my gosh! Who is that new girl?' And Jason said, 'This is Layla.' The end."

Um...I don't even know where to begin with this story! I cannot wait to see what the teacher has to say about this one.

And yes, I totally know we are in big trouble with this kid. I'm already sweating.

Like Shawn's story matched his personality, this story definitely matches Jason's. He has a love for words, that's for sure!
