Remember "playing school" as a kid? The bossy neighborhood girl always wanted to be the teacher and you went along. I'm playing school in my house these days. Between grocery shopping, feeding the dog and doing (or not doing) the ironing, my dear son has assigned me a geography report due in a few weeks. "Choose a country," he instructed. "I expect a poster, too." I went along when he gave the family a few geography lessons. His enthusiasm was sweet, exclaiming, "We're going to learn about the world!" I now know the population of China and when to expect rain in Australia. What I don't know, is how to ditch this geography assignment. I think I'm stuck, unless I want to break my son's heart. Harried mom homework. The atlas is out. Now, to choose a country for my report.
