Driving firstborn to school. There's only 2.5 days left!!!
He's quizzing me on mineral facts. A very rude habbit. I've tried to explain to him that not everybody knows the painful details of minerals, crystals and other forms of compacted dirt, but he persists in asking me questions and then laughing because I don't know the answer. So I decided to make my point by turning the tables.
Mom: So Firstborn. How do you spell Mississippi?
Firstborn: M-i-s-s-i ....
No! It's M-R-S-dot um.
I couldn't figure out where he thought the R came from until he stuck that dot in. Being from MA we often get misled as to whether there is an R in a word or not. But Mrs.-ippi! Perfect!
