Whiteboards have a magnetic attraction.

It has nothing to do with the ones that are made so that you can stick magnets on them. We just got one today to make our lessons a little easier.

It's the allure; the temptation of it. Place a whiteboard on the dining room table, leave the markers by it and a quiet little dance ensues. Xander puts a latin phrase on it from his current worksheet and translates it to try out the markers. I drew a smiley in the corner. The new expo markers retract btw...something else to go oooo! about.

Later on, I stroll by, the phrase is gone, replaced by a large pi sign in a circle. I laugh, erase that, and write "Tempus Fugit" with a clock face. Xander tells me he translated it and are we going to have a phrase of the day? I walk by it later and someone added a fish, it turns out that was dad, putting his two cents into the fun.

This morning when I looked at it, the simple blue fish now is red spots and red fins with a lovely dorsal fin. Look's like Thany's been there, lol.
