Heather in OK Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yesterday went a little something like this: Me: "...and what did God create Adam out of?" Them: *crickets chirping* "..ummmm...." 9yo: "Mama, I needed help with something in English." Me: *looking at the book...I see very detailed directions on how to make a web for the personal narrative* "Ok, did you read the directions?" Her: "Yes." Me: Begins guiding her through the lesson 11yo: "I need help with Math." Me: *looking at the book...she's to figure the area of a square...not a new concept and she has the directions written out in a spiral notebook* "So what are they asking you to do?" Her: "Find the area." *blank stare* Me: "And how do you do that?" Her: *a much deeper blank stare* And now...the Wednesday edition! Hopefully the information they need today will be present in their brains. :lol::tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Have you read up on amnesia? It can last for an awful long time. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinmom Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Is amnesia catching? I didn't realize that was what was going on here until you pointed it out! Oh, no! Maybe a good vaccination of chocolate and coffee will keep it from spreading to me! Too late for the little ones, though. Hopefully, they'll outgrow it before they graduate.

hornblower Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I predict that, um, well given that amnesia is, well, it's sort of, I'm not sure but something about not remembering or something, and so it's going to ..... um.... what was the question again?
