Honestly, you can't "teach" these kids how to read the clock. I seem to remember in grade school, getting little empty clock mimeo's and we would fill in the hands for the time that was asked for.

Teachers are incrediably lazy these days.

This weekend I am teaching my daughter to calculate her location’s latitude by measuring her shadow at solar noon.

I do believe you and my husband would get along very well.

When my eldest daughter was just an infant, hubby was in her bedroom changing her diaper while I was busy elsewhere. I heard him start to do "this little piggy" with her toes. At the end when "this little piggy went whee, whee, whee, whee all the way home; and, that is what is known as incontinence." I was laughing about that, and still am, over 30 years later.
