No, you read it right.
Today in first grade we finished our groundhog day writings. In case you are curious this project stemmed from an awesome video that involved a groundhog dressed as Elvis...complete with hip swaying musical number. My kids then had to come up with a fictional story starring a groundhog. The results were miraculous.
I mean, you had the mundane...my groundhog saw his shadow and ran away blah blah. But THEN there was the groundhog King that had is crown stolen and had to find out who took it and how to get it back. There was the ice skating groundhog that fought off all the bad guys. There was the sweet groundhog mom that made pie for her little groundhog who, by the way, ate it all.
I'm just saying- life in first grade > big girl grown up jobs. I would rather deal with ice skating groundhogs than adults any day.
In other news, I officially felt old today. My kids started talking about a show on Disney Channel. They were telling me all of the characters and the plot line and I had no.idea.what.they.were.talking.about.
HELLO? What ever happened to Boy Meets World? Flash Forward? Bug Juice? The Famous Jett Jackson? Even Stevens? So WEIRD? <---------------------these shows are truly classics of the 90's/00's. And I am officially one of "those" people that just doesn't get kids today...
except that I really love their groundhog stories. their "guess what I did last night" stories. their "one time, my sister/friend/mom/cousin/grandma/babysitter did _____________ for me" stories. their "i'm a kid and everything is new and shiny" stories.
