Smells like teen spirit

The kids were telling me about some activity in the blackboard room and Amelia said "We can play there now that the teenagers go to the music room. It smells much better." Des said "Yeah and now the music room stinks." I said "Really? What does it smell like?" Amelia scrunched her nose and said "Hot."

In other news, the kids made a motion for a valentine's day party which was approved but with stricter conditions than Des had anticipated. After his 20 minute meltdown I was able to deduce that his vision for the party was something on the scale of the Halloween fair not "some dumb thing where you're stuck in the kitchen and have to do every single bit of cleaning. Who thinks that is fun? It isn't fun to just be stuck in a kitchen." I hear that! If an idea isn't abandoned before it starts Sudbury is very good at teaching the amount of effort and work needed to achieve something.
