Curious……blah blah blah:))

Curious……

1)Helping my second grader with her homework…
The lesson is for the child to ask an adult to compare the cost of an item when adult was a child to a current cost, and to make two types of comparisons: by difference and by ratio. Ok, easy enough. Unfortunately mommy was not thinking straight and the only example that popped into my head was a…gas price. Oh boy! So here I am telling the kid: "the price of one gallon of gas used to be one dollar, and now it is three dollars! This is outrageous, all thanks to Mr. Cheney and his side kick…….ok, now you make two comparisons……"
Next thing I hear:" Mom, how do you spell “Cheney”?
I almost about dropped - darn kid wrote down in her workpaper everything I said word to word!
I was like: "hold it right there…erase, re-do……"
Kid:"but but but…mooooooooom – unfair! You said it yourself, and now I have to do my work over……"

Curious, if I did not notice what she put down, would I hear from the teacher re: lil’ political statement found in kid’s homework?;))))

2)I finally found myself a wonderful new cleaning lady Very very happy. She sent me a message this morning asking about our security system (whether I would leave it off for her). Stupid me ( fingers running faster then the brain) replied to her that alarm will be off, and in case of an unfortunate event of us forgetting to turn it off we shall of course pay the bail to get her out of jail should she gets arrested for breakin’&enterin’…and I did not put any smiley faces….

Curious …will she be back? Or should she think that I am a complete nut :))))
