A lady has a problem with her daughter:
My nine-year-old daughter is in Grade Four.Every evening we get into homework argument.Three afternoons a week,she has activities(netball,singing) after school and when she gets home,homework is the last thing she feels like doing.The other two days,she gets home early and we argue about whether she should do her homework right after school,or if she should have some time to rest and play first.When Maria at last sits down to do her homework,she seems to want me there all the time.I have other things that need to be done.It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did,and some of it is really difficult for them.As you can see,I'm realy worried about homework and I really don't know what I should do.Any ideas?

Knowinghow much love flowers,my nine-year-old daughter presented me with branches
she’d picked from a blossoming fruit tree in a vacant lot.“Bonnie,these are
lovely,” I said,“but do you realize that if you had left them on the tree,
each of these blossoms would have become a cherry?”
“No,they wouldn’t have,” she stated firmly.
“Oh,yes,they would have,if left alone,each blossom would have grown into a
cherry.”
“Well,okay,” she
conceded,“but they were plums last year!”
