So timely this discussion. "It's so boring!", those words make my shoulders rise. My favorite right now is 'why do we have to sing songs about science? It's a complete waste of time!" or "why are we doing experiments about things we already know the answer to?" Ummmmm. We've also had the 'this is boring' about writing and it was because it was really tough for him. I love the list because it's not always the same reason that I'm hearing it. It's kind of like when he was a baby and he cried and you had to figure out hungry, wet, tired etc. Totally agree on the effort and persistance. Sometimes, boring work is important.
