I was telling a friend of mine what happened over the weekend with my 9 year
old.  She suggested I share it with you guys...here it goes:

This weekend I decided to "clean" last year school books so I could sell
them today at an used book fair, as I usually do every year.  When I got to
my 9 year old books I started complaining of the little notes he always
writes on his  books (making me spend days with an erraser in hand...very
hard when you got carpal tunnel...ja,ja,ja).  Every time I saw a page that
had something written on I told him that if he did the same next year I was
going to spank him and he replied..."yeah mom,,," because he knows I would
not really spank him.  Then I got to his science book, which was the worst
of all...notes all over the place.  When I got to the chapter of mammals
(which I had a fit with the publisher at the beginning of the school year,
since they define mammals as animals with hair!!!) there was a picture of a
baby crying and Shawn (my son) had written on it "Mama, dame teta" which in
spanish means "mom, give me the breast".  My heart just melted right
away...if this is how he thinks, he can write his little notes wherever he
wants!!!
