    I got in trouble once for not doing homework because a Jerry Lewis movie (Hook, Line, and Sinker) was on TV. Back in the pre VCR days.

    Yup – sweet memories for Gramma – maybe she did the same thing to Val and Joan!

    @somebodyshort

    Why should Phil lay down the law when Val is already doing it.

    Notice how Grandma is smiling. She must have put that curse on Val; “I hope you have children just like you!” It’s a curse that always works!

    I am proud that the worst memories that my children had about me was “hogging the TV to watch the evening news(maybe once or twice a week)” and turning off the ringer of the telephone while we sat down to dinner(maybe 3 times a week)" and refusing son a paintball gun " (I offered to buy him a .22, but paintball guns use people as targets, which I did not agree with a 9 year old having)

    I was a “bad” dad…………..

    I’ve been reluctant to do homework sometimes, but I always do it in the end, and I’ll be doing some this weekend. FYI: Happy B-day, Star Trek!

    Nowadays schools dish out so much homework that it takes till bedtime to finish it. But we must mold the children to fit into the right niches.

    I’ve found that homework doesn’t take nearly as long as kids take to do it once they get rid of the distractions.
