These children, entrusted to our care, are not mere mortals. When you are performing mommy triage—that is, when you have a crisis moment and have to figure out which fire to put out first—always choose your child. It’s just a math lesson. It’s only a writing assignment. It’s a Latin declension. Nothing more. But your child? He is God’s. And the Almighty put him in your charge for relationship. Don’t damage that relationship over something so trivial as an algebra problem. And when you do (because you will, and so will I), repent.
