Speaker 1: Ojo on the morning show, keV, I want to get
Speaker 1: into your topic. I was a little late with this.
Speaker 1: I know there's parents that are driving kids to school
Speaker 1: probably still. But Josiah's homework assignment. First off, Josiah's your
Speaker 1: place right now, are back with my He's at school
Speaker 1: right now. He's also come up today once he gets
Speaker 1: off though. Okay, what's the homework assigny?
Speaker 2: So Josiah has a book that the entire class has
Speaker 2: been reading. I think it's something with a girl named Malayle,
Speaker 2: and it is an autobiography of a young woman who
Speaker 2: I believe was from South Asia and she grew up
Speaker 2: in a time where women didn't necessarily get education, Like
Speaker 2: they weren't going to school. It wasn't something that was
Speaker 2: I don't want to say legal at that time, but
Speaker 2: something like that. And she grew up and she fought
Speaker 2: for women's rights, she fought for girls to be in
Speaker 2: the classroom. And it's an amazing story. Do you know
Speaker 2: all this stuff because he's been telling you exactly. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm not reading the book, but I'm engaged in what
Speaker 2: he's doing. In want understanding, and he wanted me to
Speaker 2: review his homework. So the homework assignment is these boxes,
Speaker 2: like seven or eight boxes where you have to discuss
Speaker 2: characteristics of Malayle and what defines her based on these characteristics.
Speaker 2: And Josiah is doing all of this stuff. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I get it. This is really cool. And then the
Speaker 2: other side of the homework, the teacher asks for Josiah.
Speaker 2: She asks for Josiah to then list his characteristics and
Speaker 2: what makes him who he is. And his first thing
Speaker 2: is like, I'm a creative individual. He lists all these things.
Speaker 2: I'm an artist, list all these things, and at the
Speaker 2: bottom he says, and I'm a son. And then in
Speaker 2: his box he's like, you know, I'm a son and
Speaker 2: I was had the blessing of being birth to a
Speaker 2: wonderful family. He's like, I have a home, I have food,
Speaker 2: I have water. Thank god, I wasn't aborted.
Speaker 3: To write that. I'm not gonna tell him to take
Speaker 3: it out. It's truth.
Speaker 4: Did this, But did you say why did you include
Speaker 4: that party?
Speaker 3: Because he's thankful, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: He lists a bunch of impressive things, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Can I get it? Did he turn that in today?
Speaker 1: Then to the teacher, Oh gosh, he said, you know
Speaker 1: what he needs to do. Then he needs to wear
Speaker 1: He needs to wear the shirt that says thank God,
Speaker 1: my mom didn't swallow me.
Speaker 3: You gotta get that shirt. Christ I'm gonna get.
Speaker 1: One school religious Just wait, what was this shirt?
Speaker 3: It wasn't a shirt. What was the thing that Smith
Speaker 3: wore the school was? It was the socks?
Speaker 4: One said little and the other said effort.
Speaker 1: Do you think what are the odds that the teacher
Speaker 1: dresses that or just leaves it, just leave it?
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's amazing. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: it's amazing. He's like, man, it's insane that I'm someone's kid,
Speaker 2: not including God. That's for another time. My parents had me.
Speaker 2: My mother went through all that pain just for me
Speaker 2: to exist. I'm a son that has received love, food, water, clothes,
Speaker 2: and a home, not just a physical home, but welcoming
Speaker 2: me into the home of our family, and for not
Speaker 2: aboarding me.
Speaker 3: That's aware. But can I say, can I say and
Speaker 3: this is this is interesting?
Speaker 1: I think that that's awesome because I really do. First off,
Speaker 1: I do think that as a kid, you probably Josiah
Speaker 1: has always been way older than he he is age wise,
Speaker 1: number wise, He's always he's very smart kid. But I
Speaker 1: think that's such a wonderful thing that he's that, you know,
Speaker 1: gracious that he's got these great parents and he's got
Speaker 1: a great life.
Speaker 2: I could only imagine the things that teachers have to read,
Speaker 2: but that teachers have to deal with, because I kids
Speaker 2: write crazy things on assignments, even if it goes beyond
Speaker 2: what the assignment is asking for. I wish I could
Speaker 2: see that teacher's face when she reads it. Eight four
Speaker 2: form O Joe Live eight for four six six five
Speaker 2: six by four eight.

Speaker 1: Have a great day at school, Buddy, make your teacher blush.
Speaker 1: Go tell her to why we all get like uncomfortable?
Speaker 1: But you're a kid saying it. I mean you reading
Speaker 1: Josiah's words, you know, didn't make me as uncomfortable as hear.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny with teachers. The teachers always deal
Speaker 1: with I always feel the truth because uh, kids always
Speaker 1: speak the truth, you know what I mean, Like they say,
Speaker 1: they from the mouths of babes, they say. And I
Speaker 1: know that there are kids that go to school and
Speaker 1: they probably know way too much about what their parents
Speaker 1: are going through or things that there.
Speaker 3: You know, moms are having to deal with whatever.
Speaker 4: Twe too, honest.
Speaker 1: But can I tell you that that's the beauty of teachers,
Speaker 1: is that you get to be the person that has
Speaker 1: to dissect that and then try to digest it what's
Speaker 1: going on?
Speaker 5: LEXI here, if you could be so proud of yourself
Speaker 5: that Josiah is so proud of how you guys, I'm
Speaker 5: just thought of how you raised them for him to
Speaker 5: be so self aware and thankful for that, because the
Speaker 5: only thing my kid had me.
Speaker 9: Questioned and he brought an assignment home was it said
Speaker 9: like something like, what was the worst part of your week?
Speaker 9: And it literally says waking up to come to school
Speaker 9: and your week he said, coming home to play video
Speaker 9: games and go to sleep. But what are you doing Dallas?
Speaker 9: He was like, little I don't want to hear all
Speaker 9: you guys. Yeah, because he has sisters, He's like, I
Speaker 9: want to hear the girls yell at the worst part.
Speaker 9: I'm like, I'm so sorry about that.
Speaker 4: I feel your pain. Smith brought home a paper last
Speaker 4: week and he was supposed to write a short story
Speaker 4: about his favorite time of day at school, like the
Speaker 4: favorite thing that he did at school, write a story,
Speaker 4: draw picture. keV saw this, he literally just wrote the
Speaker 4: word dismissal and that was it.
Speaker 3: That was so embarrassed Jackie, what's up?
Speaker 8: True?
Speaker 6: Hi?
Speaker 7: So I this was a few years ago. My son
Speaker 7: is now twelve. So right about this time that he
Speaker 7: was four, we were watching The Fox and the Hound,
Speaker 7: the lit old nineties. Yeah, he very randomly one day
Speaker 7: was like, Mom, I'm so glad that you never left
Speaker 7: me in the woods, and that I'll never leave you
Speaker 7: in the woods that scene where the old woman left
Speaker 7: pods the fox in the woods by it.
Speaker 9: But that was really cute.
Speaker 3: No, that is cute. That is really good.
Speaker 1: By the way, just tell all your kids, and this
Speaker 1: is for Smith and Josiah and all those guys, that
Speaker 1: at the end of school, you know how all the
Speaker 1: kids get to they we would get those certificates like
Speaker 1: it was basically they had like it looked like a
Speaker 1: thing that you could frame and hang it up in school,
Speaker 1: and every kid got one. Every kid got one in
Speaker 1: school for something. Mine was for good lunch room behavior.
Speaker 1: That was that was mine. Every kid got honor Society,
Speaker 1: perfect attendance, the physical fitness test.
Speaker 3: You couldn't misbehave you are busy, stuff.
Speaker 1: In your face was pretty much my life, right, Monica.
Speaker 1: As a funny one for us, Monica, what did your
Speaker 1: son do?
Speaker 6: Hi? He had to draw a picture of what I
Speaker 6: do every day, and I'm a hairdresser, and apparently he
Speaker 6: thinks sweeping is.
Speaker 3: All I do.
Speaker 6: So I was holding a pole and it looked like
Speaker 6: it was pretty much money on the floor, but it
Speaker 6: was supposed to be hair, so I looked like a stripper.
Speaker 6: Pretty much and the question the teacher just put a
Speaker 6: question mark in saying what do you do? So it
Speaker 6: was so embarrassing.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, teacher or female.
Speaker 6: It was a female teacher. So I think that's why
Speaker 6: she was comfortable enough to ask me.
Speaker 1: And I mean, you gotta do you gotta frame that
Speaker 1: like that has to be framed.
Speaker 6: Will never forget, never forget that one.
Speaker 1: And keV, you need to frame that. Uh just yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, keysy, Yes, what's going on?
