Our theme this month in Cub Scouts is "The ABC's of America" so we have been discussing facts about the United States and learning all of the states. So, last night was another trivia night, and I don't think I have laughed as hard as I did last night. Here are a few funny nuggets from last night's meeting...
Me: "When did Columbus reach America?"
Scout #1: "1942!"
Me: (Chuckling) Ummm...let's try a little bit earlier...
Scout #2: "Ugh! We don't know. We give up."
Me: "Who is your favorite President?"
Scout #2: "Abraham Lincoln!"
Me: "Oooh, he's my favorite too! Do you know what his wife's name was?
Scout #2: "No, but she was ugly, mean, and rude."
Me: "What ship did the Pilgrims sail on to get to America?"
Scout #2: "The Nayflower!!"
Me: "Close...but it was the Mayflower."
Scout #2: "Yeah, whatever. When do we get our cookie?"
It is such a stuggle sometimes to get the boys to pay attention, but they are so sweet. They really get excited to learn new things and work on projects together. I enjoy the time I am able to spend with them, and the things I have learned while working with them.
Hope you got a chuckle or two like I did!

This is so funny! I was reading it to CJ and we were laughing. You are so cute!
Okay, I just laughed and laughed. Mostly because I have a boy that age, and it is totally true - it's all about the cookies!
