Austen & Gage

[wpvideo nkTGTLHc]

After Austen completes her homework, Dada reviews it and tells Austen she forgot to capitalize someone’s name, which is a mistake Austen makes frequently, so she’s kind of tired of hearing us correct her.

Austen’s response, without missing a beat:  “Fuck.”

Dada: “Ughh…(holding in a smile)…Austen, you should not use that word.”

Austen:  (with a sincere tone) “I’m only saying fuck to myself.” 

Dada: (now trying to hold in laughter) “Still, it is not a nice word so don’t say it.”

Austen:  “OK.  Sorry.”

Dada: (another blog entry!)

Earl morning, while they should be getting dressed for school…

Gage: Austen! Do you want to wrestle or fight?

Austen: Hmmm…let me see. Cut to scene where they are rolling on top of each other on Dada’s bed. I guess they chose to wrestle.

Austen is staring at another family with loud kids during dinner. Dada: Don’t stare, Austen. It’s not polite. Austen: But it’s like watching a movie…

Dada: [can’t stop laughing]

We didn’t understand the science but had fun with the hands-on activities, especially those involving cars (magnet attraction & solar power), food coloring (watching dishwasher soap repelling the color molecules) and sticking probes into lemons (enough energy to power an LED clock)!

We also got to explore Austen’s classroom and activities.
