Conversation: The penmanship edition

In honor of Thanksgiving I thought I'd replay a conversation from a holiday dinner past.

Setting:  Holiday dinner (I think it was actually Christmas dinner), with  W's family.  Lots of rambling conversation with Six adults and 8 children around the table.


[insert fascinating conversation here.....]

W:  So, what are you going to do when the school runs out of math classes for the boys.

Wanda Louise:  We'll send them back to second grade for penmanship class, they'll be the only 17 year olds in the elementary school.

W:  Ha. Ha.  You're the funniest person I've ever met {she may not have said that but I could tell that's what she meant.}

Son #1:  Amen. {he may not have said that but I could tell that's what he meant.}

Kale Loving Son:  Moooommmmm.

My other Son who has chosen the pseudonym "Cicero": Moooommmmm.

W's husband "Mars":  Why would you do that.  Handwriting isn't that important.  I've managed for 40 years with bad handwriting. 

Cicero:  See Dr. Mars. doesn't think hand writing is important.

Kale:  Yeah.

Wanda Louise:  Mars!  You seriously just told two eight year olds that hand writing doesn't matter?

Doc:  Pass the green beans and bacon please.



I cannot tell you how many times over the past seven years we've heard about how Dr. Mars says handwriting isn't important!

Thanks Mars.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone else!
