*bangs head against the wall*

so ozzie brings home a load of stuff from school, various crumpled papers, all shoved into his backpack.

i ask him, "did you clean out your desk today?" he says, "no."

so i'm going through the papers and i see one that is a drawing of a turkey with feathers, only half colored-in. i say, "what's this? home work?" and he says, "no, that's from thanksgiving. i never finished it. i don't have to bring it back."

"why is it in your backpack?"

he says, "i found it when i cleaned out my desk today."

"so you did clean out your desk today?"

he looks off into the distance and says dreamily, "oh, yeah. i guess i did."
