Today Isaac asked for some help preparing his "Math Bag." He has to bring in a large number of objects to be counted, sorted and measured. To this point everyone in the class has brought in a food based object (mostly candy). Isaac was set on that fact and that he too had to keep the Status Quo. Kristi and I stated that we would use something we already had, and the fact that candy never lasts long, the objects he would take to class would most likely be something plain and boring. He said he would look "stupid and lame." I quickly shot back saying it would most likely be the latter. I explained that he would always be remembered as the kid who brought beans or pasta, because no one remembers all the different candy that was brought in. I guess I am just a mean Dad.
