Make Up Work

Grandson is unhappy that he's
making up his work from school
on Saturday. "It's Saturday!" as if
I do not know. He didn't mind the time
away from studies while a stomach bug
could run its course, did not demand
a ride to school because "It's Friday!"
Falls to me, the task of sitting with him,
making sure the work is done, and why
is this, exactly? Because I haven't
learned my lesson yet, apparently.
