What Have You Learned Today?

You come home from school and your mom asks, “What did you learn today?”

By the time you reached junior high (it’s called middle school today in most places) the question stopped. Probably because the answer was the same, “Stuff.” That meant we didn’t want to talk about it. Or, it meant we really didn’t learn anything except that we hated school.

It may be worthwhile to ask it of ourselves now that we’re all grown up. Have you ever sat down and tried to write down the things you learned in a single day? I wonder if the list would be lengthy or if we’d have a hard time coming up with a single item.

I plan to sit down and write out my own list once in awhile - just to see if I’m growing dumber or smarter. Too bad you can’t write down all the stuff you forgot.
