While prepping for the state test….

Kid: “Why do the reading passages always have to be so boring?”

Me: “Well, kid– in life, there are always going to be things you have to do that you will find boring. Even as an adult. So just plug through and then balance the boring things with things that excite you.”

Kid: “Even as an ADULT things are this boring?!”

Me: “Yes.”

Kid: “Like what? What do you have to do as an adult that is THIS boring?”

Have this conversation.
