L comes down this morning feeling pretty good about himself. He got a thumb’s up from the doc, he’s conquered all of his homework. He’s on fire.

L: “It’s Thursday. Let’s go over the spelling one more time.”

M: “Uh, it’s Wednesday.”

L: “NO WAY! I did all of that extra homework and studying and it’s only WEDNESDAY!? Geez.”

M: “Yup, and you still need to brush your teeth.”
