I started thinking about it while we were at Home Depot today. Everytime I want my children to remember something I make a rhyme or rythm out of it. Here are just a few things my poor children were subjected to today.
*Nothing in your nose that isn't wearing clothes.
*Saddle up, buckle up, rah, rah, rah!
*Skirt off, sleeves on, socks plus shoes.
*Put it in the potty or Mom will think you're naughty!
*Seat in the seat or you're not gonna eat!
*Chin to the sky - no bubbles in your eyes.
Do you see what I am doing to my children? If educators can make it rythm and rhyme, my children are never going to remember it! I can see right now that the rest of my parenting life is going to be spent pouring over their schoolbooks rhyming their spelling words, state capitals, and history notes.
I wonder if I can get advance copies of the kindergarten curriculum. I have a lot of work to do before August!
