Low Expectations

This weekend's homework is spelling tests, International Fair and novel study.  The day just continues to bear gifts. 

Sid has completed most of her novel study by herself but needs assistance to answer some questions on West Virginia, for which Rob turns to the good old internet. I learned the hard way that where the internet and school projects are concerned, parental supervision isn't just encouraged it is a must. When Lindsay went online for the first time many years ago to research Romans, she discovered an Orgy site. Enough said. 

Anyway, Rob looks up the necessary information and assists Sid with her answers. As she packs up he notices a question has gone unanswered. "What are the three largest cities in West Virginia ?"  He points this out to her and asks why she has left it. "We don't have to answer that one" replied Sid, as she continued to put away her work. "But the information is right here on the screen" her father argued, "Don't you want to impress your teacher?" Without missing a beat Sid rejoins "No, I don't want her to expect too much of me".

Who can argue with that logic ?
