At dinner tonight I said to Cameron, "Guess what? President Obama is going to give a speech tomorrow. And guess who he's giving the speech to?"
"Who?" said Cameron.
"Kids who go to school. Like you!"
Cameron's face lit up. "Will I get to see it?"
"Yes! We'll watch it on TV," I said. (I didn't say, "At home. Because they aren't showing it at school. Huge uproar, long story.")
"I bet I know what he's going to talk about!" said Cameron with excitement.
"What?" I replied. (I didn't say, "Health care reform? The auto industry? Converting little school children into an army of socialists?")
"A longer school day!" said Cameron. "I think he's going to tell us that the school day will be longer now!"
David chimed in. "Oooh, that would be bad!"
"WHAT!?!?" said Cameron. "That would be AWESOME! I would love to be at school more!"

Isn't it wonderful when they love to learn?
I am glad he got to see the speech, even if it had to be at home. We had our kids watch it in the district. My 8th graders actually really enjoyed it. I did too!
Your boys crack me up. He wants a longer school day? Be sure to remind him of that in a few years.
Yep, Cameron loves school! I'm hoping we can keep that enthusiasm going for as long as possible!
As for the speech, I thought it was great!
