SADIE: Dad, why did you put celery AND a clementine in my lunch yesterday? I don't want both!

ME: Um, because I love you so much? I want you to eat healthy and be strong and healthy.

SADIE: How about if you show your love by being flexible and sending me only one fruit or vegetable?

Prove 15 is an odd number

2011-09-20T21:46:00.001-04:00

Sadie got her first homework assignment. On the top of the 8 1/2" by 11" white paper was the sentence: "Prove 15 is an odd number."

Sadie came up with two proofs. In the first she showed that it can't be divided evenly with whole numbers. She drew two circles, one that contained seven lines and another with eight lines - 15 lines divided unevenly. Her second proof was that it's not possible to count to 15 by twos: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16.

With three more days left in the school year, this is what Sadie told her teachers she plans to do this summer: "I want to read longer and stronger, so that I can read to my sister. I am going to get a chapter book and try to read one chapter a day."

The mouths of babes

2010-09-19T15:02:00.004-04:00

After a school picnic today we stopped at the grocery store and then headed home. There was some whining involved. When we opened the first door of the building, Sadie rolled her eyes and said, "Why did you guys get an apartment with no elevator. That was NOT a good decision."

I pulled the self-righteous mother routine (as usual) and said, "We have a very nice apartment and there are people in this world who don't even have any place to live. We are very lucky."

To which Tessa added, "Yeah, those people are called Bagabonds. And they wander all around and have no houses and it's SO sad."
