Doing homework

As most schoolchildren are only too happy to attest, homework is not one of the most pleasant scholastic experiences.  Most of them see it, at best, as an excercise that takes them away from what they really want to do which is just about anything but ... homework.

As I wrote several weeks back, my three-year-old granddaughter, Princess Butterfly, was to begin her first experience with school this fall.  It's pre-school, of course, but to Princess Butterfly, it is "SCHOOL" - and definitely an experience worthy of caps.  She is so excited about going to school in the morning with Big Sis Ice Princess, Big Bro Football Prince, and with Sweet Momma M, who also teaches at the school her children attend.  It's an all-family affair to be sure.  And Princess Butterfly is also excited about wearing her school uniform!

Princess Butterfly definitely wants to be included in all activities - just like everyone else.  So, on the way to one of the many activities that take up all Sweet Momma M's non-school time because she is the principal chauffeur, Sweet Momma M, equipped with all three children, was checking to make sure that homework was under control.  Just like Big Sis and Big Bro, the Butterfly got to make a report.

When it was Princess Butterfly's turn, she proudly replied,  "I don't have any homework, I finished all of my academics at school."

Princess Butterfly, we love you very much!  But you do manage to crack us all up.
