The Katie Chronicles: The List Maker Edition

I come from a line of list-loving women, and Katie is carrying on the family tradition.  A month or two ago, she made a list of all the things she wanted to get done on a particular weekend.  The items were:
Call Chandler [her friend] to see if she can play, yes or no
Play in my cichin
Shop
Mack my dish [a Food Network-inspired item]
Shoos and unbrella [?]
Pool
Play withe AJ
Play on my mom computer [I don’t know if this is missing the ‘s or if she has invented a computer just for mothers]
Read a book
Do mathe [is this my child?]
Eat ice cream [yep, she’s mine]
Do 2 ABC orders [homework]
TV
Ask to go to SKZ [Sky Zone, a trampoline jumpy place]
Cook with mom or dad
Rit a note
Eat penuts or nutse
Snugol [snuggle]

So there you have it, a 7 year-old’s priorities.  Lots of food, lots of playing, lots of food-related playing, all topped off with some snuggle time.  Sounds like a great weekend to me.

The Ethan Update: Throwback Edition

At Ethan's school, kids sign up for feedback sessions where teachers and students can give them feedback about things that they can improve on. Then they implement the feedback and they can sign up for promotion. If they get promoted, they get additional privileges and "pay" in their token economy. Ethan recently went up for his first feedback session and one of the main suggestions he got was that he needs to let others answer in class. Since I was a child in the 70s, my first thought was, "Dear lord, my sweet Ethan is Horshack."
