The Difference between an Elementary School Student and a Teen

Last night, the books and supplies arrived from the virtual school. Rugrat was beside herself! With each box I opened, she 'ooh-ed' and 'aah-ed,' often finding something every few books that she wanted to look at and check out. She was even excited about the few books that arrived for Dude.

She was particularly pumped to see a whole new set of readers for Phonics.

She was very excited!

Dude, on the other hand, was not the least bit interested in the contents of his box. Nor has he looked in it yet. He has been steadfastly ignoring it, determined to forget that the beginning of school is on the horizon.

He is not excited at all!
