The Conference
Complete with name tags, of course
I was standing in the kitchen when all of sudden, I’m approached by the child and she hands me a name tag with my name on it. Mommy gets one too - but the dog gets left out.
Today, we’re having a parent-child conference chaired by your favorite six-year-old.
The topic is school. We have to prove we know the following topics:
1. Social Studies
2. Math
3. Math
4. Math
As you can see, math was quite the subject this year at..I don’t know what this conference was called - how about FAMILYCON? That’s got a nice ring to it.
Our conference started with the chair handing out paper and pens and then she got to work. We had to write down topics about social studies.
I wrote about monkeys and how much cheese is too much cheese. This was not what was anted and I ddin’t pay attention to the conference so I got and F+ as a grade.
Then, the math.
In 2025, 1st grade math is new to us senior execs, but we were showed how to use the “number bond” and the “ten frame” to help solve our math questions. But this time I paid attention and got an A+ on math.
And they say math is hard. Ha!
I wish I could tell you why this meeting was called, but that pretty much sums all conferences and meetings.
It was a complete waste of time.
Well, except for the memories. Those were A+ as well.
Keep Talking,
TH and Co.
