It turns out I'm really busy this year. Who would have thought that finishing university would be this hard? Except of course for anyone who's gone to university, ever.
So blogging is probably going to be at a minimum this year. Which is really best for all of us. Trust me, you don't want to hear my "funny" stories involving orthonormal matrices.
But in the meantime, I'll share a brief story involving S, from this morning:
*S grabs the iPad from the shelf*
*I take it away*
Me: S, you're not even dressed yet. You can't have the ipad.
S: (pouts)
Me: Do you want to pick out your clothes, or should I pick them out for you?
S: You pick my clothes. (pause) I'll stay here and guard the ipad.
OK and one more, involving two children who shall not be named (but whose identities will probably be ridiculously obvious... )
The story opens with me practicing reading with one kid
Me: Good job, [Kid]! You're getting really good at this!
Kid: *beams with pride*
Sister: Yeah, good job!
Kid: STOP IT! DON'T TALK TO ME! I can't think with your TALKING!
(I think "good job" sounds like an insult when it comes from a big sister... Which I can sympathize with, because frankly, as a big sister myself, I probably meant "good job" sarcastically about half the time.) (but not anymore, Snan! Now I truly am awed by your accomplishments. Good job!)
