Ok, I had to print that out and put it on my fridge before I could even take a moment to reply to this thread.
I think a Calvin and Hobbes book is in order this holiday season.
Now to the question regarding the beanstalk....I asked DD4 to imagine that she were Jack and the beanstalk was too short. I prompted her with...what would you do to finish the story? She responded without hesitation..."I would jump" I too asked what if it was too far to the Giant's home in the clouds, and her response was, "so what, giant beanstalks, giants, and homes in the clouds are not real, so in my story jumping would just work".
I did not think there could be a wrong answer, so what exactly was the teacher looking for?
