My daughter who is seven and in second grade, was talking to my fiancé on the telephone and he was asking about her day. The conversation went something like this:
"How was school today?" asked Scott
"Fine," said Victoria
"What are you doing?" asked Scott
Victoria said, "Homework"
Scott replied, " Oh, what is your homework on?"
and in a cute young and innocent voice, Victoria said, "Paper"
