Works in Progress

Things my kids have learned this summer: How to make Jambalaya. Algebra. Acting. Making tuna salad and muffin pizza.

Things my kids have not learned this summer: Turning lights and tv off when they leave a room. Closing drawers and doors to cabinets and closets. Eating with silverware (still to be mastered by one child)

So they can cook, compute and emote, but they still act like they were raised by wolves.

There is much work yet to be done.

Closing doors, turning off lights and the tv, not leaving a trail of possessions around the communal living area, NONE of mine learned this until they left home and suddenly had to do it themselves :)

Raised by wolves - I love it!

Snort. Wait until you visit them in their homes and forget to turn off light - you swear you are listening to yourself!

Do they flush toilets?
