Well, Duh

Careful observation over the last few months has taught me that young children requesting to "do school" should be treated exactly like young children requesting to "go to the moon" "be firemen" "be workermen" "help cook."

In other words, they want to play. Help him find stuff to play with. And let them go.

Great minds think alike - at least for the post titles today.

Having never been in school, all my kids want to play school.

They all want to be the teacher and have all the other kids sit and listen to them and do whatever they say...

What do you think it means?

I think it means that being a dictator is fun. As long as everyone gets a turn. :-)
