Smarty Pants

Evan had to give a speech in English class this week, and remembering my own high-school calamities, I asked him to come practice for me.

He set my phone to the stopwatch feature (my phone has a stop watch feature?) and told me when to it start.

He sputtered a few words and then stopped.

I can't do this in front of you, you're like my mom.

Well, okay. I'm sure you'll do fine! You know, you can practice in front of the mirror...or hey! Your computer has that fancy webcam video thingy...record yourself and play it back!


Yeah. I know these tricks mom, my teacher told us the same thing.

HA! See, I know things that your teacher is teaching you!

Mom, this is English class, not math or science.
