Lest I forget

I dont think I'm going to find time to write detailed posts, but I wanted to note down funny things that Ari says from time to time. He does come up with some gems! And I know Ive already forgotten so many of them :-(

Sometime in the past year I was trying to teach Ari the concept of fractions, which, if you refer my earlier entries, Nidhi had a grasp of when she was much younger than Ari.
While Nidhi can mentally visualise mathematical concepts, I know that Ari needs physical examples. So I sat down with him armed with an 'apple' and a 'knife'. I asked him how many apples we had and he promptly answered 1.
Then I told him I was going to cut that apple into 2 halves, which I then proceeded to do. I told him we now have 2 half apples that together make a whole apple. He seemed to understand this quite easily.
Then I asked him if I took away one half how much apple would he be left with?
He said '1'.
I said how was that possible as we had 1 apple to start with.
His answer was that when I cut the apple, it was now 2 apples :-)))

For his school homework, Ari has to write a sentence with the word 'we'. His sentence:
"My daddy went down the slide. Wheeee!"

Ari has to learn the Bible verse John 3:16 for his church club Awana. We have been practising it all week. Yesterday I was testing him. He was stuck at "For God so loved the world..."
I prompted him "...that..."
He said "...that he sang a song of six pence."

I got a call from Ari's school headteacher earlier this week. Apparently he'd told his teacher that I let him walk to Tesco on his own to do the shopping. That I give him my phone so he can call me when he's finished and I can go get him.
The school was worried and wanted to crosscheck with me!

Ari has been invited to 2 birthday parties this weekend. I bought Lego toys for the birthday boys. When he saw the toys after school he was not happy that we were giving them away. He wanted them for himself. He tried a lot of negotiation and arguments as to why we should not be giving them away.
Finally he says "Anyway I dnt think we should be going to so many birthday parties. Because we will get weak eating all this unhealthy party food!"

Ari is not happy with the punishment I have given him (no computer time) for his bad behaviour (hitting Nidhi).
He moans "People say that life is unfair but I already know that!"
