My kids are both obsessed with Greek mythology right now. My daughter is obsessed with the Percy Jackson books and my son just completed a really in depth and creative unit of study on ancient Greece at school.
It's almost scary how much they know.
So they like to talk about the gods. A lot.
Last night in the car they were trying to pick what god was most like each family member. After debated for a while I decided to try and make them laugh.
"Well, I think I'm most like Aphrodite!" I announced.
I got three vastly different yet simultaneous reactions.
My husband rolled his eyes at me. (He doesn't think I'm funny.)
My daughter yelled out, "No way! You're not self conscience about your looks. You don't care about appearances at all!" (I'm kind of glad she noticed.)
And my son said with much relief, "That's right! Because you're so beautiful."
Guess which one of them gets clean laundry, extra helpings of dessert and help cleaning his room.
