Caity's first full day of preschool is this coming Tuesday. In an effort to stimulate class discussion and interest in their peers, all of the students in her class have been asked to draw some pictures of their family and answer some basic questions about themselves. One would think that this is, like, the easiest assignment ever, but from my standpoint it was about as bad as differential equations. Caity refused to answer most questions; instead of drawing anything resembling her family she drew blobs with swirls all over them. "What are those?" I asked her, pointing to the swirls. "Eyes, LOTS of eyes," she responded, swirling even more eyes onto our heads. Giving up on the portrait, I forced to her tell me the answer to this question: "What do you like best about yourself?" Her answer: "Red".
Something tells me that it'll only get worse. The teacher in me will most likely NOT enjoy helping Caity with homework in the future.
