Overheard

The girls are cutting pictures of animals out of old magazines to use in a project:

Macey:  Hey, look at this one!  It says "Homework is boring.  Play with me instead."

Jaela:  The cat?

Macey:  Yeah, I think the cat is saying "Homework is boring.  Play with me instead."

Jaela:  Huh.

A brief pause.

Jaela:  What's homework?
