Last night the boys and I played some "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader." It always amazes me how much they know. They always choose the hard subjects like Science and Geography. Maya watched us play and this morning she wanted to play it with me. We sat down and played and I would read her some made up questions that I knew she could answer. She was pretty excited. Then she decided it was her turn to ask me the questions. Here goes:
Maya: What animal lives in a swamp?
Mom: A frog?
Maya: No.
Mom: A turtle?
Maya: No.
Mom: Umm...
Maya: How about a crocodile?!
She was a little disappointed that her mother lacked that knowledge. Next question:
Maya: What animal lives in a tree?
Mom: A monkey?
Maya: (I can see in her face that I have once again given the wrong answer, but she doesn't want to disappoint me.) YES! You are right!
