Honestly...

Here's another example of kids being too damn honest. Lesley recently put an add in a small local newspaper, kind of a newsletter really, looking for housepainting jobs. Leah has to do a current events presentation every couple of weeks or so, in which she has to go through a paper and choose an article that she can breakdown and present to her class. See where I'm going? In the past we've steered her away from advertisments and comics and convinced her to tackle actual news, however we got stuck on a town council article a while back, and while helping her with it even we realized that we didn't understand what it was all about. So this time around we went a little easier on her, and let her choose what she wanted. She chose Les's ad. Whatever, it was cute.

Yesterday she brought home a stack of tests, projects, drawings and bits from this winters school work, and in going through it we came across the synopsis of her latest current events project. I'll transcribe it here:

Current Event
who: Lesley Snyder
what: paint wall's and mural's
When: when ever you call her.
Where: at your house
Why: she need's a job

Well, at least she's honest.
