Wordless(ish) Wednesday: Reading, Writing, 'Rithmatic

I've never done one of these before, but hey, there's a first time for everything.

Harry turned 11 on Saturday

Which explains the conversation I just had with him (at least I think it does):

Harry: From now on I'm going to use Celsius.

Me (talking the bait, I know I shouldn't have): It will be difficult because everything here is in Farenheit and most people won't understand you.

Harry: I'm still going to switch to Celsius.

Me (pretty much losing it): You can't. People won't be able to understand what you are talking about. You'll have to move to Europe.

Harry: But I don't want to move to Europe.

Me: Just do your work!

A few minutes go by in which he is actually working.

Under his breath Harry mumbles, "Dad uses Celsius."

Me: No more about Celsius. Ever!

(Jason does use Celsius because he is a scientist and Harry is planning to be one. But in order for that to happen, he's going to have to survive 5th grade.)
