Can I Not Go To School?

Ian: Mommy, can I not go to school today?

Me: What do you think, boy?

Ian: (Switches to deep thinking mode... for about a minute)

Ian: Cannot wor. Then I will have more homework tomorrow when I go to school.

Me: I am so proud of you, boy.

Ian: Why, mommy? Why are you so proud of me?

Me: Simply because you know how to think, boy.

Ian: (Satisfies with my answer, he walks over and give me a big smile and hug).
