Fear the Turtle!
So, picked up my 1st grade daughter from school this afternoon:
Me: "Hey, bug! How was school today?"Well, at least the Terps won. :-)
Her: "Fine. We did something really special in reading class today."
Me: "What was that?"
Her: "Well, [my teacher], got a TV and guess what we watched?"
Me: "A Dr. Seuss show?"
Her: "No, Dad! That was just for Dr. Seuss' birthday!"
Me: "So, what did you do?"
Her: "We watched a basketball game! And my favorite team was playing!"
Me: "Huh?!?"
Her: "The Terps, Dad! You know, they're from Maryland! And you know what... they won!"
Me: "Really? Wow!"
Me [thinking to myself]: "Hmmm.... Me thinks the teacher just didn't want to miss the NCAA tournament. I wonder if she at least tried to tie it in to a reading assignment somehow?"
