summer Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 So my 12 and 13 yr old were having a big fight. It involved yelling and a lot of "not fair!" I broke them up and found out what it was about. It seems they were fighting over the book "Fallacy Detective." They each thought they should have it first! LOL Other familes have children fighting over computer games and such....not mine..they are fighting over a book about Logic and the elements of Argument, LOL.

Storm Bay Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Perhaps they should read that chapter in The Thinking Toolbox called "When it's Dumb to Argue.";) I refer my dd to that chapter often... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 LOL Karin...we plan to get that book next. At the rate they are reading now, I suspect I will need to get that book by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose in BC Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Arguing over who was a better author -- C. S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 That's great! I LOVE that! :D Last Thursday my kids were arguing over who got to make supper that night! "Ummmm, well," I said, "how about if one makes it tonight and one makes it tomorrow night?" ( ;) ) "OK!" Later they're huddling together discussing something. Pretty soon I hear, "Mom, can we make supper on Monday night too?" Well, OK with me! :D Kids are interesting! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
