I'm not bad at 3s, I'm just too good at Ms.

My daughter says this to me today as I ask her to practice writing her 3s because they're turning into 'm's on the worksheets. "I'm not bad at 3s, I'm just too good at m's."  I started cracking up!  What insight! What cleverness!  What a point of view to have of the world.  We should all adopt that mentality. Like this: I'm not bad at follow thru, I'm just too good at planning amazing events! Or: I'm not bad at organization, I'm just too good at making messes. or: I'm not bad at being punctural, I'm just too good at making dramatic entrances! We're trucking along in first grade math!  I'm tooooooo proud!  She's getting to where she can do the addition and subtraction up to 10 in her head!  I'm overjoyed! (Not to mention completely impressed she can DO that at only 5 yrs old!!!) I've gotta go!  We're meeting our first official homeschool-playdate at McDonald's this afternoon!  And I have to take THE BUS!!!  Wish us luck with public transportation!!!
