Homework night is so comical at our house. David "helps" Lauren with her math, which basically means that David and Lauren just discuss the math problems, argue over the questions AND answers, laugh at each other and both get distracted every 3 minutes. In 2 hours, they have done 3 questions…and have 6 more to go. Right now, they are watching our dog, Bruce, sleep and dream, and trying to figure out what he's dreaming about. I'm trying to redirect them but their attention span is nonexistent.
Lauren: "Dad, your eyes are blue. Dad, open your eyes". David: 'Are we done yet"? Me: Homework!
David: So, what do you think the answer is?" Lauren: "What if I write Jesus? Jesus is always the answer". Me: Homework!
David: "I have a splinter". Lauren: "Good Lord Dad, give me your knife"? David: "I feel it when I drive". Lauren: "Well, I will have to drive you from now on". Me: Homework!
Lauren: "Dad, you're falling asleep. I see you!" David: "No I'm not". Lauren: "You have your eyes closed". She keeps cutting her eyes towards him to catch him. David is straining to keep his eyes open. Lauren looks at me and starts laughing.
Me: I think you two have Attention Deficient Disorder.
Lauren: No we don't. Wait. What does that mean?
David: ADD. (as he starts playing with Kilo's paw while she sleeps, and Lauren starts laughing again) Lauren: Dad, your distracting me.
I love my family!
