Homework in year 2 - MeMe Style!

Meme has to learn about Florence Nightingale as part of his "homework" (he's a big boy now in year 2, so obviously they think he's big enough for homework... i'm not saying he can't do it.. it's just... he's still a babey )
It's really cute watching him learn... he used the bbc site where you can watch a little cartoon slideshow of her life...
He then tried teaching me about her...
(I have a theory that the only way you can learn something is if you teach it, so i made him teach it to me several times, before teaching my mum in our mother tongue...)

so he comes out with...

"She was born in Italy... and then she moved to England
her dad teached her Maths... she wanted to be a nurse, but her dad said
"No it's too dangerous!" ... and she ignored him, and became a
nurse...
and then turkey called her, so she went aaaaallll the way from England,
past France and Italy - that's where she was born, innit?! - and went to
Turkey.
She spoked to the doctors and she started to clean the floors, and the
rats.
and then all the soliders started getting better, cause she fed them
medicines...
and then when they got bettere again, she went back to
england.
She was famous, and the Queen gave an award, but she didn't want to be
famous.
She opened a school...
and then she died!"

maybe it's one of those "you had to be there moments" but i felt like PISSING MYSELF with laughter... just the way he was saying it all...
sooooo cute!!!!

Coupla weeks earlier he had homework to do on someone else who was famous...he comes out with
"Giti!!! we have to go on google and look up Burns!!!"
Now, i thought he was talking about Mr. Burns from Simpsons and was tryna understand WHY he'd need to do research on him!
and he says
"He made EVERYTHING! he made schools and buildings and ships!!!"
and i was soooo confuzzled... so i googled the name Burns, and it came up with Robert burns... and i asked... did he write songs and poems???
and he's nodding enthusiastically
"YEA YEA YEA!! THAT'S HIM!!!"
so i wrote out the simple life story and made it look pretty and printed it out...

...turns out it was Brunel he was meant to research, and not Burns...
the only way i found out was when Meme said something about "he made a bridge, a ship and a train to london!"

Thank God! they hammered it in to my head at my school about Brunel, i couldn't really miss them clues...
but it was soo cute the way Meme thought it was about some guy who sang Auld Lang Syne! and he sooo thought he was right!!!

Sometimes i think, he's doing the stuff that i'm doing NOW!...
bless him!
