Oh, child
The other day I was helping Tori study for her social studies test. This particular test was on a unit called "Our Country" like what it means to be a citizen, the president, fun stuff like that. Seeing as how this is the second grade we're talking about, she had quite a word list to define:
citizen, symbol, ballot, vote, celebrate, the Statue of Liberty
Despite being taken aback by how much information she had to know for this test, she forged ahead banging out every definition and trying her hardest to sound out and read every word. At the end she was quite exasperated and turned to me and sighed, "Jen, you're so lucky that homework gets easier as you get older because you can read all the long words."
I just looked at her and laughed and turned back to studying neuroendocrinology. Hey, at least I can say it.
