Mother Treasure

This is going to take a little bit of explaining. I have every intention of doing one of those blog-books my friends are always talking about and I absolutely have to have this in there. Don't feel like you have to read it because it's pretty long but it is one of my "mother treasures". It still makes me chuckle 3 years after the fact. Junior was in the 7th grade when he almost turned this paper (on the American Civil War) in to his history teacher. It was a huge project that he had tons of time to work on and he was supposed to find sources and take it seriously, etc. He waited until the last minute to do it (because he was waiting for me to do it, I'm sure) and then 20 minutes before he left for school that morning I figured I had better check and make sure he had done the assignment properly. Keep in mind that the teacher that was going to get this did NOT have a sense of humor and my son really thought this would be acceptable (I do have his permission to share this). If you do decide to read it, it is easiest to click on the pictures so they are bigger and you won't go blind.

I think I ended up writing his whole paper for him in the end but I wouldn't trade anything for this memory. :-)
