Tuesday January 7, 2003 Lark is 10 years old.
Dear Lark,
Your newer journal must be downstairs so I am writing you here. You are in the 4th grade now. You love your teacher, Mr. Judd, and you love learning. You called me at work this evening. You were frustrated because you were stumped by your "long division" homework. You had 20 problems to do and you had done only one.
I offered to pay you a nickel for each problem you had done by the time I came home. You refused. You asked me if I had been tempted to use a calculator when I was your age. I said we didn't have calculators when I was your age.
You were helping take care of Julia and she wanted to watch a movie. Daddy was asleep and so was Jasmine (as she was sick today). Trina was babysitting and Margret was at the library with me.
