More Evidence

Here is more proof that my kids are just thinking on an entirely different level from most people. Not better, not worse, just different.
Aaric's folder usually contains a few papers that have been graded. This one was a grid chart. Vertically, we have pictures. There are mittens, a parrot or other domesticated bird, an apple, a stove, a ring, and cherries. Horizontally at the top, we have the categories - it is what you eat, it can sleep, it is in the house, it is on your hands.

His one "error" on the page, was the check mark to the right of the parrot, down from the "It is what you eat" category.

Then he told me this story:
They were walking to the cafeteria today, and one girl was talking. The sub had told them to be quiet, and then when the girl spoke, the sub asked if they needed to just go back to the classroom. Aaric says, "I was thinking, 'huh? Eating lunch isn't a privilege!'"

I sure hope the thoughts that go through that child's head don't make their way to his mouth any time soon. He's apparently also considered quoting the NC state law about providing recess time to his teacher.
