It drives me NUTS and I don't know how to stop it at this late stage in the game. The other two, however; are not always bored, and I Hope to teach them all the same things you are trying to teach Georgia.Summerhttp://dirtyfloordiaries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661996260329351614.post-90338841811218198432012-12-08T00:30:55.330-05:002012-12-08T00:30:55.330-05:00awesome.

So imaginative. Now that they are 13-21 I occasionally hear them say they are bored. But not usually to me. If they tell me they are bored I will tell them to clean something. As soon as I mention cleaning, it's amazing how many things they can come up with to do.<br /><br />I'm with you.

It is only in the modern age of "entertainment for all" that we've even been able to invent the concept of being bored.Jeff Kahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016581430364691310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661996260329351614.post-86610874694216658352012-07-05T17:31:17.804-04:002012-07-05T17:31:17.804-04:00Great post!
