Noahism
As I waited with Noah and Eve for their school bus I asked Noah if he was sure he had all of his school work ready for the day. With Michael being sick helping everyone with homework was put on the back burner for the evening. He recalled that he hadn't finished his spelling homework.
me: "So, Noah did you get all of your homework done?"
Noah: "Oh...I forgot to do my pioneer spelling words, but it's okay I have a homework pass."
me: "So, because you didn't plan properly you are just going to fall back and turn in the homework pass?"
Noah: "Yeah, that's how I roll!"
I went to school a bit later to help the kids mix some corn muffin mix and blueberry muffin mix in preparation for Pioneer Day. I related this story to Noah's teacher who replied, "Dude, that's what they're for." She totally gets Noah, which is so comforting.
This story reminds me of an earlier argument between Noah and Rachel. At some point, over breakfast, I brought up that I was going to school to help Noah's class with the Pioneer Day baking. Rachel and Sabrina reminisced about the tasty corn muffins. Noah interjected, "They are called Johnny Cakes."
Rachel testily replied, "They are still corn muffins." Noah repeated his first statement. Which made me imagine out loud what it might be like when Noah is older and pulled over by a police officer:
Noah: "I was actually going 67 miles an hour, which would be exactly 12 miles over the speed limit."
Officer: "Thank you for that information, sir. I will duly note that on your ticket, which should cost you about $200.00 more. If you continue talking we can discuss this down at the jail."
Noah: "It should be called a Correction Facility."
If you have met Noah you are aware this scenario might actually occur.
Smiles!

Noah's teacher sounds awesome. I think I want to meet her. You should give her my phone number ;)
Oh that scenario is so very possible. I can hear it now. He does have an awesome teacher. I hope the teacher for next year is as good.
