Disliking homework is universal

To try and ease the pain of the dollar-to-euro exchange rate, I'm now tutoring an 8-year old boy in English twice a week. Last night was our first session, held at his family's house in the neighborhood of Plaka. Plaka is very chic, and their apartment is absolutely beautiful. The parents are both professors in Athens, but their English isn't perfect and they want someone to make sure their son is learning the language correctly. The kid is adorable and had no desire to do his homework, so we would alternate between playing games and studying (all in English, though, so I would try and sneak in some learning here and there). The mom even made me a grilled cheese and salami sandwich! It felt very nice and comfortable to be in a real home, I have to say.
