Go easy on "literally."
Your statement doesn't quite qualify for my collection (which might be a
relief to you, but look at these, and realize that "all" and "never" are not
likely conditions.

How many waking hours are in a year? Don't ask your child to figure it out;
you figure it out. And keep it to yourself. And try to stop counting.

WHEW! That was close! I was sure after I read my post that I would make
one of your lists! : ) I'm a work in progress. I appreciate your
comments greatly.

I hadn't read this before. Very cool! I read it to my son and he said
"yeah, now get off my back!" (with a smile on his face). He's such a
sweety.

Oh man! I didn't know I was going to have to do math today! How
ironic that it came from an unschooling veteran. heehee I couldn't
make my son answer it! He pretty much does what he wants.

I'll try to stop counting. That will be tough to do until I figure a
way around the whole "logging hours" issue
