OMG


Who do you think addressed the envelope above? Tanner, wrong, Mason, wrong, Kyle, correct!
You know he lost his license. We have been hounding him about getting another one. Brad went online with the Nevada DMV and told Kyle how to get the paperwork online to get another license sent to him. Yesterday we asked him if he mailed the paperwork in. He said yes and then threw his hat on the ground and said, "Snap!" I asked him if he forgot to put a stamp on it. He said yes, but he forgot to address the envelope too. Hmmmmmmm......... So, he had to redo the paperwork again. Last night he addressed the envelope. As you see above he needs a little tutoring in his letter writing skills.
I have always thought the news reports saying public education isn't preparing our children to go out into the work place was crazy. Being in public education I was always offended by these comments. But after seeing this, I am starting to think they may be right. For those of you that have teenage children, please test them on this and see how they do. Maybe it is just that Kyle went to 6 different high schools and I can't even count the number of elementary and Jr. high schools he went to. Perhaps he missed this skill when moving from school to school. Rest assured we had a little mini lesson on addressing an envelope. Man, what am I going to blog about when Kyle leaves. He keeps things interesting around here.
