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 at
Speaker 1: your place right now. Are back with my He's at
Speaker 1: school right now. He's also to come up today once
Speaker 1: he gets 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.
Speaker 3: And it's an amazing story. Do you know all this
Speaker 3: stuff because he's been telling you exactly.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm not reading the book, but I'm engaged in
Speaker 2: what he's doing. In want understanding, and he wanted me
Speaker 2: to 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 4: Write that.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna tell him to take 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 selling.
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.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get one school religious It's just wait,
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 3: 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. But can I say, can I say, and
Speaker 2: 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 3: I could only.
Speaker 2: Imagine the things that teachers have to read, but that
Speaker 2: teachers have to deal with, because I kids write crazy
Speaker 2: things on assignments, even if it goes beyond what the
Speaker 2: assignment is asking for. I wish I could see that
Speaker 2: teacher's face when she reads it. Eight four form O
Speaker 2: Joe Live eight for four six six five six by
Speaker 2: four eight.
Speaker 3: What's up? Anna?
Speaker 5: Hey, what's up?
Speaker 6: It's me and my son Rex.
Speaker 7: This is his first time a long time.
Speaker 3: What a cool name? Yeah, what's going on? Anna? Until
Speaker 3: your fifth?

Speaker 7: aren't you really really glad about something? Yeah?

Speaker 1: you glad about Rex? Glad that you're glad that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can say it, Yes, you can say it.
Speaker 1: That I wasn't afforded, Like, yeah, that is a wonderful thing.
Speaker 3: Me too, me too.
Speaker 1: If it happens his eleventh birthday, if that happened.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was.
Speaker 7: Like, I'm so glad that that didn't happen so I
Speaker 7: get to be eleven.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's well, you know what that is something to
Speaker 1: be thankful for. Absolutely, Uh and Rex, have a great day.
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: Like but hearing a kid saying it? I mean you
Speaker 1: reading Josiah's words, you know, didn't make me as uncomfortable
Speaker 1: as hearing Star. You know, it's funny with teachers that
Speaker 1: teachers always deal with I always feel the the truth
Speaker 1: because h kids always speak the truth, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like they say, they from the mouths of babes,
Speaker 1: they say. And I know that there are kids that
Speaker 1: go to school and they probably know way too much
Speaker 1: about what their parents are going through or things that
Speaker 1: you know, moms are having to deal with whatever twe.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 3: What's going on? LEXI here, if you could.
Speaker 5: Be so proud of yourself that Josiah is so proud
Speaker 5: of how you got I'm just thought of how you
Speaker 5: raised him for him to be so self aware and
Speaker 5: thankful for that, because the only thing my kid had
Speaker 5: me questioned and he brought an assignment home was it
Speaker 5: said like something like, what was the worst part of
Speaker 5: your week? And it literally said waking up to come
Speaker 5: to school and your week he said, coming home to
Speaker 5: play video games and go to sleep. But what are
Speaker 5: you doing? Yeah, he was like little I don't want
Speaker 5: to hear all you guys. Yeah, because he has sisters,
Speaker 5: He's like, I want to hear the girls.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: At the worst part. I'm like, I'm so sorry about that.
Speaker 3: I feel your pain.
Speaker 4: Smith brought home a paper last week and he was
Speaker 4: supposed to write a short story about his favorite time
Speaker 4: of day at school, like the favorite thing that he
Speaker 4: did at school, write a story, draw picture. keV saw this,
Speaker 4: he literally just wrote the word dismissal and that was
Speaker 4: It was so embarrassed, Jackie, what's up?
Speaker 3: True?
Speaker 6: Hi?
Speaker 7: So I this was a few years ago. My son
Speaker 7: is now twelve. So right about the time that he
Speaker 7: was four, we were watching The Fox and the Hound,
Speaker 7: the good 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 time by it. But
Speaker 7: that was really cute.
Speaker 3: No, that is cute. It 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 were busy, stuff in your face
Speaker 3: was pretty much my life, right.
Speaker 1: Monica has a funny one for us, Monica, what did
Speaker 1: your 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 all I do. So I was holding
Speaker 6: a pole and it looked like it was pretty much
Speaker 6: money on the floor, but it was supposed to be hairy,
Speaker 6: so I looked like a stripper pretty much.
Speaker 5: And the question the teacher.
Speaker 6: Just put a question mark in saying what do you do?
Speaker 6: It 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 3: And I mean, you gotta do me. You gotta frame
Speaker 3: that 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?
Speaker 7: So my daughter in preschool they had a questionnaire that said.
Speaker 3: What are you doing this summer?
Speaker 7: She said, I'm going to the seaman pool instead of
Speaker 7: swimming pool.
Speaker 3: They said, you're not rounded, it's a public pool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so good. Thank you for the call. That
Speaker 1: was a great that was a great topic.
