Is it In The Water?

We all woke up this morning in great spirits, looking forward to a having a great teaching day. I wanted S to finish up the rest of his history lesson and then move onto doing some research and index cards for his Explorers report he has coming due. So after breakfast and a little bit of free time while I threw in a load of laundry, S sat down to start his school day.

Oh, my goodness.......The same thing is happening again. Today, it was around 2 1/2 hours on one question in history. The answer was easy to find IF he had read the passage. But, being Mr. Stubborn, he felt he didn't have to read it and that the answer should somehow miraculously appear on his paper! I asked him to read it aloud to me because when he does, he usually HEARS the answer, thumps himself on the forehead and says, "That's it!" Well today he was NOT going to read it to me.
Trying to get him to read to me was like pulling teeth!
Before lunch, I sent my sister a text saying "I QUIT!", and asked her to pray for me that God would give me the strength to continue and NOT strangle my son!!!! Funny......she text me back and said, "Yes, and would you do the same for me!!! IS IT IN THE WATER?
