Funny Homework

Here's another Garrett Original...I love this kid!!! :)

First of all, a confession...Garrett and I usually go through his homework folder everyday right after school...but yesterday, things were way off (I think I was feeding Olivia when he got home) and as a result, I just glanced through it quickly, but we didn't look through it like usual. So today, I'm glancing through his homework- which he did all on his own. (And yes, he usually uses normal sized, non-colorful paper...but apparently he thought it would be fun to use his new little notebook that day...his poor teacher!)

Anyway, his assignment was to make a list of things that you push and pull. I don't know if anyone else would find it funny...but here is Garrett's list of things (which is so typically Garrett)! You can click on the picture to read it more easily if you'd like...and my translation and comments are below...




PULL:
Wagon - okay, makes sense
Blanket - cute that he thought of that...
Oven Door - whoa, whoa, whoa!!! do not call CPS...my children do not open and close hot oven doors!!!
Car - wow...strong kid!
Kid - kinda violent...but funny since Garrett, being the most passive/non-intrusive kid would never physically pull a kid - unless that kid were his little brother...then that would totally make sense!
Drawer
Chair
Worm from Ground - gross, but so typical Garrett...he loves to play with worms!
Flower
Weed - yeah right...i've tried getting this kid to help weed the flower beds!
Hair - again, slightly violent
Tag off of Clothes - Garrett is such a sensory kid...he CANNOT have any tags on his clothing at all!!!
String
Furniture - HA!!! i'm surprised this is on the 'PULL' list...usually we just save our furniture for jumping on!!!
Box
Leaves off Trees - uh yeah, we've talked about this one before...no pulling leaves off the trees! :)


PUSH:
Button (Elevator Button) - I love that he specified elevator buttons...my kids were in heaven with the number of elevator buttons they got to push when we'd go visit Olivia in the hospital!!! Apparently, it left an impression on him! :)
Toy car - at least this time he specified toy car...a little more feasible than the 'real' car listed above!
Car - oh wait...here it is again!
Oven Door - again...a total no-no in our house! in fact, my kids are sufficiently afraid of the oven since i warn them all the time about getting burned!
Kid - again with the kid...i don't know where this violent streak is coming from!
Drawer
Chair
Pedal - again funny, since he is still very hesitant about riding his bike. he can totally do it, but is still petrified of starting and stopping! don't worry, we're working on that one too!

And the funny thing is, he told me that he had filled a second page too...but thought he did too much so he was just turning in the first page! I'll have to search the recycle box to see if I can find the extended version!

Love the "Pull" the tag off of clothes. What a smart, creative boy!
