Hypocritically speaking, I think workbooks are such a bore. But Gooly and I do spend time doing them mainly because we have nothing to do, and they are made available, thanks to his overzealous ahmar and korkor.
But we do SO defy the law of learning. For example, "Colour the picture.", and there is a sample picture for us to follow/copy. Come on..colouring is boring already and they try to restrict us with such banality? And thus, Gooly with his inherited kwailan genes, wanted to colour the egg brown, instead of the conventional yellow/white. Sure, I said, if you have a reason for it.
"It's rotten," he said and added, "It's also a dinosaur egg." Teeheeehee..
I also let him cut up his own fruits, using the Ikea plastic knife. Our apples are not crescent shaped. Dragon fruits are not squarish. They are as irregular as can be. We spend a lot of time deciding what shape they are before popping them into our mouths.
"This is an igloo."
"Look, a telescope."
"This is.. nothing."
Weekday mornings are such. Boring to some, but priceless to us.
