I'm new here and I saw this topic. I have 6 year old son that I love and think is one of the coolest people I know. I could gone on forever talking about him, so you may see me here alot!
Anyway, he just finished kindergarden and his teacher told him to read over the summer, so I have been trying to get him to read something everyday. The other day I say Jacob, go get a book to read. Well he comes back with a book below his level, with only one word per page. I tell him to go get another book that will be a little more challenging and I tell him it is when we are challenged that we learn. So he tells me, "Mom, I want to learn, I just don't want to be challenged"! There was nothing I could do but laugh. Needless to say I made him get a different book to read.
I'd love to hear your funny stories, I know you have them.
