My kid came home and said, 'Teacher said I need to work on my transitions.' I said, 'What do you mean, transitions?' He said, 'The transition from her explaining the assignment to me not understanding it. I need to work on that transition. It's taking me too long to get to the not-understanding part. She's on sentence three and I'm still on 'so basically.' I'm not transitioning. I'm lagging. I need a loading bar in my brain.'
