Geometry Fail

We're sitting at a stoplight and my son begins to speak

So mom, do you know what a (insert some fancy geometry word here) is?

Well, Evan, I believe that is something that a son learns in tenth grade and mothers do not need to know when they are of my age and beauty.

Okay, then do you know what a (insert another fancy geometry word here) is?

Again, Evan, that is something that serves you well at your age and will not serve me at all.

So, Mom, you have no clue, right?

You know, Evan, I have a driver's license and you don't.

He pauses in his self righteousness for a minute.

Well I will be a better driver than you ever were.

Not if I don't sign off on your license you won't.

A few minutes pass and I speak up.

You know what really sucks? When I go to write this on the blog, I am so not going to remember those geometry words you said.

I know.

And he smiles just a tad too big.

6 you say:

Evan--listen to your mother. Geometry is only important when you are taking the class. I have absolutely no use for it. Except when I have to help my kids with their homework. Urgh.

Evan said...

You're use is to prove to your kids you're just as smart/smarter than them, Dawn!

Not remembering the geometry words for the post makes reading about it even funnier. xoxo

I am definitely going to use your responses from now on to accusations of my ignorance! Love it!
