Ben has a new obsession.
No, not video games, webkins or pokemon cards.
Math.
The kid is all about math.
Two weeks ago Ben whined about math homework.
Why, the 180 you ask.
Because his school made it a contest.
They gave them all passwords to www.firstinmath.com
There are different levels of difficulty and you get "sticker" points for every exercise you complete correctly.
And they list the students rankings online.
This really hooked him.
"Mom, Keshawn is ahead of me...can I stay up 30 more minutes to do some division?"
Who hears that from their kid?
As of this morning (after he spent every free moment on it this weekend AND got up early this morning to do more problems) he is ranked #11 in his entire school (4th and 5th graders included).
I want to find the genius who created this game and give them a big hug.

The person who invented this game probably has a kid like Ben who is all about competition.
On second thought ... a KID probably invented it.
