Grant has been working on his letters. Refrigerator magnets galore and lots of practice with crayons and printer paper…
Mom, I need a napkin.
OK, but why?
There’s something on the wall…
What’s on the wall?
Nuffin’….
I hand him the napkin and wait a moment or two. Scrubbing, rubbing sounds are heard from the hallway. I discover Grant scrubbing away at a large pencil mark.
What are you doing?
Nuffin’
Did you write on the wall!?
No!
Is that pencil on my wall!?
No!
What is that then!?
It’s the letter A (duh is implicit in his tone)
Thank God you have been documenting his learning so that you can prove what a smart little shit he is!
