We have some of our best conversations at the dinner table; usually they revolve around the question, "What was the best part of your day?". One of the most remarkable changes in Curtis over the last 6 months has been his interest in sharing about things that happen at school. After years of "I forgot" or "I don't remember", he is pretty willing to tell something just about every day. Tonight, talk turned to recess and something that happened on the playground. It started with the comment, "Sixth grade girls are mean!". Then he reported that, one day, he walked by some 6th grade girls and they said, "Girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider!" Here is (almost verbatim) what he said:
First of all, that whole thing about "sticks and stones and words will never hurt me" is not true, cause words are powerful things and they can hurt. Second of all, going to college really has nothing to do with gender!...And third of all, if someone went to Jupiter, I think that person would be way smarter than anyone who ever went to college.
Just another round of dinner table wisdom from Curtis!
