Lately, my littlest heathen is less than enthusiastic about school. He seems to be going through a phase where he is truly baffled as to why he has to do something that he does not particularly want to do. I feel that way about laundry sometimes…and toilet cleaning…

In an effort to promote the power of positive thinking this morning, I asked him to tell me two things about school that he does like. Surely, I can use this as a spring-board to talk about recess, his friends and his cool teacher…right?

You know what Monkey says?

“I like lunch, and the part where I get to come home and have a snack.”

Well, dang. What am I supposed to say to that?
