Yesterday I heard two things on Sprout (the tv station for toddlers and preschoolers) that was straight up WRONG.
1.) On the sharing show they said that they would share the apple by cutting it into 3 halves.
2.) On the goodnight show they were talking about insects and they asked some kids what their favorite insects were. And of course the first answer was a Spider. Now regardless of what i think of spiders. Spiders are NOT insects. They are Arthropods (a creature with a segmented body). However and Insect is a creature with 3 body segments, 2 antenna, and 6 legs. Those unnatural creatures we call spiders only have two segments and have 8 legs. They are NOT insects.
No wonder American children are behind in math and science skills, we're teaching them wrong from the start and instead of advancing we spend their later years correcting all the things we taught them wrong in the first place.
Grandma no longer seems so odd for correcting the grammar on the news and on lamb chops sing along show (a show that was banned in our house for their inability to use proper grammar).
Life happens every day, and some days it feels like life is beating the crap out of you. Other days it's the best comedian you've ever heard. The Unpredictability of life is what makes it worth living, it's an adventure, and I'd like to share my adventure with you.
