Grammar Time

I sat my Dodo down at the table, handed her a pencil, eraser, R&S 3 opened to her assignment, and a fresh sheet of paper.

"Grammar? Yuk." She says.

"Just do it."

"But Mom, this has no point!"

So I spend a good five minutes expounding on the benefits and necessity of a solid grounding in grammar, while she rolls her eyes.

She groans, sets her head on the table, and holds up her hand.

"The pencil, Mom," she says, shaking it in the air. "The Pencil has no point, see??!"

Oh yeah, I knew that.
