One day I was sitting on the couch reading while my son did his second grade homework. Suddenly he asked, "Mom, what's a period?"
My heart stopped for a second thinking it was way too early for my precious little boy - and me - to get into this discussion and I asked, "where did you hear about that?" He replied he had heard about it in school. I was now seriously considering home schooling when he continued, you know, like you put a question mark and a period! Talk about relief!
