After sitting at the table refusing to start his work for 10 minutes, a few broken pencil tips and two small rips in his paper, Jackson brought me his finished math homework. Most of the problems were wrong. Jackson's good at math. Every single incorrect answer was due to lack of…wait what's that sound outside? Unanswered problems, unread directions, misread directions… there's a spider web up in the corner I should probably leave because spiders eat the bad bugs. Why in the world would you answer the problem without reading the directions first? How could you skip over problems right in front of your face? I sent him to his room to refocus because that totally helps distracted people. Chris took over homework duty after dinner and found one incorrect problem I missed. Then he flipped the last page and found an entire page of unanswered math problems. When he questioned us simultaneously I'm pretty sure Jackson and I had the same surprised "uuuuhhhhh" looks on our faces. Chris is meticulous. We need him. But life is way more fun distracted.
