Funny what they figure out

I was tucking the boys in to bed. We were discussing what tomorrow holds for them.

• They have dental appointments (which my kids like the dentist so no worries there).
• They have a field trip
• Doug pipes up and adds, "we only have to practice our sight words for homework."

Three days out of the week we have a homework sheet to review and usually on one day (or more depending on how long it is) we have some sort of hand-writing sheet to complete. However, by Thursday we have completed all the specific homework pages and I only make them practice their sight words. I guess Doug had noticed that this coincides with it being Thursday.
