Written by beeber on February 17, 2010 – 9:04 pm -I was tasked to supervise bath time for the kids. I was hoping to get some more reading in while on the job. Anzel has also requested me to read to him while he is taking a bath (SUCH luxury!). In the meantime, I have already brought my book in. Anzel had a worried look on his face and said “I don’t want you to read that book (thinking I would read the Known world for him).” I asked him why. He said the book was sad and that he would put the slaves in his heart. We talked about keeping people who died in our hearts.

Written by beeber on February 15, 2010 – 11:29 am -I have been engrossed in Edward P. Jones’ The Known World. It’s a book about slavery in the 1800s. anZel was curious about it. So I told him that the book is about black slavery and what slavery means. He kept asking why there wasn’t police to make things right. I have yet to come up with an adequate answer for him.

Written by beeber on February 8, 2010 – 7:54 am -Since going to new school, anZel has finished his lunch a handful of times. So he and I have a deal that if he finishes his lunch, he can bring juice or something he likes to school for lunch. He was doing pretty good for a couple of days by finishing his lunch and snack (usually is finished snack and half empty lunch box) until Friday. Upon examining the again half empty lunch box, I gave him a look (not necessary threatening) and reminded him that there will be no juice for Monday. He said “What? The look won’t change the result.”
