When her 7 -year -old daughter asked her for help with her homework, Alyssa Dawson, 36, from Arizona, did not expect the mission to come back.
The promotion of homework had asked students to “draw a shape with 6 corners and 6 sides” and “then trace lines in your shape to show 2 squares and 4 triangles” – an instruction that left both the mother and the daughter.
In a viral video on Instagram With more than 2.3 million views, Dawson shared a photo of the homework sheet, which is now proudly framed in the family home. In the space of the answer, the 7-year-old shared an adorably badly spelling confession: “I help but my mother does not take a cookiel”, which results in “I asked for help but my mother does not know the answer either.”
“When I saw the answer she bet, I started to crack. It was so hilarious because she was absolutely right,” said Dawson Nowsweek.
In the legend of the video, she wrote: “Lift your hand if you have already been personally the victim of your child’s homework.” She added: “When your child requests homework help and exposes your lack of knowledge.”

Dawson is not alone; According to the annual survey of the National Center for Families Learning, more than 60% of parents with children from K to 8 admit to having trouble helping the homework of their children.
The reasons to fight against duties help not to understand the subject (33.5%) to straighten their children (41%).
In the comments, people have shared their reactions, including many comments from their other parents who could relate to Dawson’s situation.
“What kind of instructions were even ??? Loool [laugh out loud] I took a break and tried to shoot this and abandoned, “said commentator Chethawleyz.
Samanthaodonnell_az said: “This is one of the best things you have published.”
Others commented on the decision to frame and keep the homework page. “I love the fact that it is supervised,” said SaintMother2.
Other commentators have helped by sharing the answer to the question, such as Indyunleashed, who said: “Index: Hexagon. It’s quite easy lol.”
“I shared it on Instagram because I thought it was funny and relatable,” said Dawson about the video, shared in April. “So many parents have been and are in my place, and I like to bring everyone together like that. I also love to show the fun and funny side of being a mom.”
This is not the first time that a child’s homework has lost a parent. Earlier this year, a father was left question his “mental health” On the duties of mathematics of a 7 -year -old child. Another father was perplexed on his The second year homework of the girl About the pizza.
