Bird's-eye view

Last night Grant had a homework assignment to make a map of his room. The map needed to include such things as a compass rose, a title, a legend and so forth. As he drew his bed, dresser, window and such on the map I noticed that the scale of the bookshelf was really off. I tried to communicate this to Grant.

Me: Grant, your bookshelf looks very small in comparison to the other items in your room.

Grant: But, mom it's a bird's-eye view and the bird flew really, really high on this side of my room!

  2. So glad you're taking notes on all the funny, memorable things your kids say and do. It gets us all through the tougher things in life!
