Precious Memories. Or not.

Kyler’s homework assignment:  A list of his favorite memories.  The paper had such instructions as:  Write about a favorite time you had with a sibling…or…Write about a fun time you had with your parents.
I, of course, imagined that by the time he finished this assignment, the entire page would be filled with heartfelt answers and I would probably want to frame it, cherish it and read it every day. 
Instead, it mostly looked like this:
The best day of my life:
“was when my mom bought me a nerf gun.”
I’m happiest when:
“I’m happy.”
And that’s pretty much how the entire thing was filled out.  What a boy.  At least Mae will get the same assignment next year and complete it more to my liking.
