The Difference.

The difference between boys and girls when it comes to homework

Mom and the Boys:
Do you have homework?...Uuuuummmm...Do you have homework?....YES! I hate homework. Whoever invented homework should be shot...Let's get your homework out and get it done...I hate homework...I know, let's get it done fast...Grumble grumble grumble...Hey, this is easy, come sit down and get it done fast, you are so good at this...I don't understand it, I don't want to do it, I hate homework...I don't care if you hate it, get over here and do it. NOW!...Okay.........I hate homework...*then he will get up and walk away when I'm not looking*...Get back here and finish your work. It's almost done...I don't want to...NOW...Okay...See? Easy peasy lemon squeezy...Dumb homework, grumble grumble grumble...

Mom and the Girls:
Mom! I have homework, can I do it now?...Sure, get it out and get started...Mom! I need to read to the whole family, too, can everyone please come over so I can read to everyone?...boys:I don't want to read, I hate reading, whoever invented reading should be shot!...But I need to read to everyone! Whaaaa...Calm down, you can read to me...But my teacher said I have to read to EVERYONE in my family!...You can read to mom and dad and the boys can listen as they walk by...NO! I have to read to everyone in my family! And I want to do my homework, what day is it?...Wednesday...My homework isn't due until Friday, darn!...Can you turn it in early?...No I have to turn it in when teacher says. Can you make me some homework. PLEEEEEASE?!?!?!...Okay. I hate homework. Whoever invented homework should be shot...C'mon mom, make it hard homework...Do I have to? Grumble grumble grumble...

Sometimes even a mom hates homework.

Too funny! Since I am a teacher, and I have to assign homework, hope your boys don't shoot me! LOL!
