On Tuesdays and Thursdays I don’t make my kids go to pre-school. I have the luxury of working at home, so I figure while they’re still young enough, I might as well get to enjoy their company a couple days a week. The problem is, in between wiping up my one-year old’s messes (whether they be up top or down below) and playing school with my three-year old, there isn’t much time to do actual work. Fortunately, the internet can be surfed a few minutes at a time, when I have that brief window when both of them are playing nicely. It was during one of these moments today that I wandered into the “Beginners Questions” forum on Two Plus Two, a section that I haven’t looked at in a long time. Me? A beginner? Pffft. But one poster’s question struck a chord with me to the point that I thought it would be a good subject for this week’s article.
