First off I want to mention, cause it is easily forgotten, but now that I know I want to research a bit more, and maybe this will nudge me in that direction. I was reading chapter books to my children which end in a way that make you want to keep reading. The hope is that they will not wait for me, but read it for themselves. I have been reading from the "Horrible Harry" series. The thing that stuvk out to them was the rhyme about beans being a magical fruit. The questions seemed to never end. The thing that floored me was the allusion to Bartholomew Cubbins I had just figured this was a name that Jared Leto, from 30 Seconds to Mars came up with (see credits to alot of his videos) did this person already exist and was being related to? Hmmmm. Guess I have the questions now.
The next thing happened yesterday during the day. Mary, out of the blue asked her dad why he didn't share his money with mommy, it was rude. I quickly talked her out of such a stance explaining that she only wanted something and knew that I would give it to her whereas he would not. So that got her focused on Needing vs. Wanting, but I sure wish her dad had answered it. Sge has a particularly keen mind and simply put it together that if she was expected to share then so was dad., but he does not do many things he requires of others and I guess it is my fault for trying to teach by example, it does not work in his case. :(
