Where did we go wrong???

Tonight Brayden came home with a lot of homework to do. He was pretty sad about it too. He wanted to go outside and play. The funny thing is that he blew through the math pages and even concentrated and got his reading homework finished. The problem came about when he had to put together the turkey. A construction paper turkey!!! How annoying! I mean, that's supposed to be fun work at school, at least in my opinion. Most kids like art projects but he wasn't having any of it. He didn't want to cut and paste together the turkey. Maybe it is because it was not coming from his brain and someone was just giving him something to keep him busy. For a second, I was watching him and wondering what this meant about his personality and what kind of work he would gravitate towards when he grows up.

So I asked him. "Brayden, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
He replied, "A Robber."

Uh oh. I think we have some more work to do.
