A Conversation which compelled me to finally learn to blog....

I found a Certificate in my 7YO son's backpack labelled "King for A Day" - it had been nearly obliterated with purple crayon, but I could tell it HAD been something very special, dare I say prestigious?  I dared.  Anyhoo...it is little conversations like the following which cause me to BLOG. 

Mama: Will– what is this?

Will: That’s my King of the Day award.

Mama: Why were you King of the Day?

Will: What?

Mama: Why were you King of the Day?

Will: I don’t know.

Mama: WHEN were you King of the Day?

Will: I think Saturday.

Mama: No…it would have been a school day.

Will: Was Saturday a school day?

Mama: No … Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday are all school days.  Was it last week or this week?

Will: What’s a week?

Mama: WILL! When did you get this paper from Ms. Hale?

Will: I don’t know.

Mama: sigh…well, what did you do to earn it?

Will: I don’t know.

Mama: Why did you scribble scrabble on it?

Will: I don’t know.  I just started and couldn’t stop.

Mama: Why did you start?

Will: I didn’t know I wouldn’t be able to stop.

Mama: But why would you…never mind…(looking closer underneath the crayon scribble scrabble).  Hey, Will…do you know what this says? Why you got this King of the Day award?

Will: Why?

Mama: For SELF CONTROL!!!!
