Outsmarting Mom...Not that Hard

Had to run to the Dollar Store today, and I let the kids each pick out one thing. Ethan got a calculator and Rhys got a water gun. Went home, and the kids started doing homework and me chores. Ethan comes up and says, "Mom I'm done, can you please check my packet?" I express to him that the packet must have been easy this week, and I will check it in a minute. When I go to the table, I see the calculator and it all falls into place!! I then explain to Ethan that we do not use the calculator to do our Math homework, but he can use it to check his work. Silly Mommy.
