• Jun. 13, 2007 - talking to the press
OK, so the title is a little misleading.
Seb had a chance to speak to a reporter after an incident in our neighborhood. It wasn't on tape, but my husband reported the conversation to me. Almost every day, someone asks Seb if he is on vacation, or if he is starting Kindergarten in the fall. He says no, I don't go to the High School anymore, I am being home schooled. We get a lot of surprised looks at THAT one...! He went to the high school's pre-K program for 2 years, 10 weeks each year. He was invited to come back this year, but he wasn't learning anything there, it was only to provide the high-schoolers an extra child to practice their nursery school program skills upon.
Anyway.
He was talking to the reporter about bugs, one of his favorite topics. She asked him what his favorite insect was, and he responded: butterflies. She asked him why he liked them the best, and he told her:
They start out as caterpillars, and eat things in our garden, but then they turn into butterflies and pollinate our gardens so that we have more fruits and vegetables.
She was very taken with his response, and commented that he was very smart. He acknowledged that fact. then she asked him about his schooling, and he told her that he was being home schooled. She asked if Mom or Dad taught him, and he said Mom...and that he was smarter than Dad...got a grin out of the reporter, and another wry grin from Dad. Dad does plenty of the teaching, but Seb doesn't realize when he is being taught...Dad's teachings are just more conversations in the every day life of the Calabro family!
