I swear. We have the one seven year old on this planet that has absolutely no sense of imagination. None what so ever. He has a list of "high frequency words" that he has to use in a story. Every week! He knows that its coming every week. It hasnt changed since school started in august. Yet, every week when wednesday rolls around he seems to forget that he has to write a story and freaks out and starts crying. He thinks that it is my and his dads jobs to tell him exactly what to write and what to write about. Most of the time we give him four or five ideas on what his story could be about. But, then he freaks out because he cant decide what topic to choose. Like what the heck. Yes, we will help you that is our job. But, we are NOT doing your homework for you. I feel like im not going to be a good mom because i cant even get him to even try. Thats all i want! I want to see that he is at least trying. One or two sentences on the paper. Something! Instead he just sits there and cries
