On Recess

Mommy I hate recess.
You don’t learn anything, you have to go outside where it’s loud, wet and boring and the playground is filled with boys acting crazy and wild. *MY* favorite subject is MATH. I love it so much. Counting money; counting time; counting music beats…Only Aaron and I know it is all the same and it’s so much fun!
And math is right before recess, so I’d rather spend recess doing more math.

The 6 y.o. (when asked what her favorite subject is in 1st grade…besides recess)
