Congrats to Manster!! That is AWESOME! I would have helped if my kids came home and wanted to do that. NOt sure I could as the smell of fish makes me intensely ill, but I would have tried!
What did his teacher say? I hope he got a lot of points!! You and husband DO get extra points - it is NOT enabling, it is encouraging your child's education and interests!!!
Reminds me of high school - my senior English teacher gave us points for anything that had a company logo on it that wasn't stolen. If you brought in something stolen you flunked AND he called the cops. One of my friends got a tombstone from a guy that formed a company and had his company logo on his headstone. It was at a post office auction for $10. It took 3 guys to get it out of his car onto the dolly and then up the stairs to the classroom, lol. THen the teacher offered a huge # of pts if we could research the guy and the company (local, went out of business long before I was born). So about 3 of us did - to the shock of our teacher we actually wrote a report on it.
This is an awesome way to encourage Manster's education. He will ALWAYS remember that you and husband went so far to help him in school that you bought a fish and helped him make a fish bag!!!! I am sure your grandkids will hear about this one when they whine about the work they have to do for school, lol!!
