Another laugh

I am so glad my kids are so funny. I have had the greatest laughs in just the last couple of weeks.Today after school Zach showed me his interim. He did great and I was so proud of him. He got 2 A's and 2 B's. He asked me what each grade was in. When I told him one of the B's was in English he said "but I am really good in English. We were kind of busy making Christmas candy but a couple of times he mentioned again that he was good in English.

Tonight for FHE we went out and delivered some treats. Caleb and Zach got to choose two people each to deliver candy to and they both chose kids in their class at school. On the way home Zach again mentioned his English grade. I told him that maybe he should talk to his teacher if he thinks the grade was wrong. Then he said, "But mom, everyone in the school can speak English". Caleb and I were laughing so hard. We couldn't stop laughing. He thought he was being graded on how well he speaks the English language. That makes total sense though. Poor kid. He thought we were laughing at him and when we got home I looked in the back seat and he had his head down. But after I explained that we just thought it was very cute he perked up pretty quickly. I explained to him exactly what kinds of things you get graded on in English.

Just a side note about another laugh. The other day Ethan and I went outside to see if we could get the trampoline put up. I figured I wouldn't be able to do it but it was something to do and Ethan really wanted to get it up so we atleast attemtped. So I got out the instructions and sat them on the car. Occasionally I would go back to them and then again try to set the thing up. It was HARD. I told Ethan that I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. Then he says, "MOM, hold on, I will go look at the directions". Another laugh out loud. As if he was going to be able to read them and then put it together. That kid is a hoot.
