The 100 Club

In Taylor's kindergarten class, kids who write their numbers from 1-100 become part of the "100 Club". His mother, Leslie, heard about it from another mother whose daughter was a proud member. She wondered about it because Taylor had never said anything about it, despite having been able to write at least that high for a while. When she asked him about it, he said simply,
"Well, mom, it just gets too boring once I get to 63."

I can totally understand that - can you imagine a 5-year-old sitting still long enough to write out each number to 100? I myself would get bored out of my mind - and I've had lots of practice sitting still (though I'm still not good at it). He finally did, though, and even wrote all the way to 104.
