When your kids were in school did you ask them, “what did you learn today?”?

I was reminded of an old joke on a thread in a Yiddish word of the day facebook group:

Mama says “well Bubbelah how was your first day at school? What did you learn?”

“That my name is Irving”.

It started me wondering if some parents routinely ask their kids what they learned in school that day. Seems like a good idea, although my guess is kids would find it annoying as they got older. I don’t remember my parents doing it.

How aware were you of what your children were learning? Did it change as they grew older?

Side note: The Yiddish facebook group is very fun. Yiddish is a very funny sounding language and if you live in NY or around a lot of Jewish people a lot of it would sound familiar. This thread was asking what Bubbelah means, which brought back a lot of fond memories of childhood for many people in the group. It means little doll or sweetie. A term of caring that adults usually use towards younger children or among family members in general.
