My neighor quizzed Jordan the other day, I sent her to return a "loaned" (pushed upon) science book we never used.... she quizzed my daughter on it and she got all the answers right. I repeat, we never used the book she forced on us. It just sat in my husbands office for two months..

Of course she is probably looking for more books to "loan" us and taking credit for Jordan knowing the info.

excellent post... If my mom had not given me her last name, my childhood would have been even more confused being that she married a widower who was already raising kids with two different last names... at least I felt like I had a familial connection.
