Unexpected Comment

Dude says to me this evening...
"You know, today was a great day.  I had fun at tennis, school was even kinda fun, I had fun washing your car.  Shopping wasn't too fun, but it was OK."

SCHOOL was even kinda fun?  Is that really my son?  We had a long talk this week, about hopes for homeschooling, friends going to school, what I need from them, and why I picked the curricula I picked.  Don't know how long this positive attitude will last.  Maybe as long as I keep consistent with starting school at 8 a.m., or a set time in the p.m. when we have a.m. fun activities.  Maybe as long as I keep the extra activities to the super fun, and not the boring / frustrating / etc.  Maybe as long as I am consistent on my requirements and they realize how much they need to do.  We shall see.

But in the end, today was a great day!
