Self-motivation (or nothing I would ever assign!)
This hardly EVER happens, but once in a while, if the planets are aligned just right, and the moon is in the right phase, and the biological clock is set to daylight savings time, one of the kids gets interested in something and runs with it. This anomaly occurred a couple of days ago when Eyebrow got inspired by a Mathtacular video and decided to write down the Roman numerals….to 500! Okay, this may not be as eye-popping to you as it is to me, but this is the kid who’s every muscle will physically melt and he will slump into a lifeless jelly-like blob at the mere thought of writing more than three sentences! The thought occurred to me that if I had ever asked him to do this, well I shudder to think of it! He is not quite finished yet, he got all the way to 366. I know he will finish this. He is just that kind of kid.
The wonder of self-motivation
