My son had an academic team competition this morning, so I had to send him off with a good breakfast (and a big Diet Coke w/ caffeine1)  :wub: .  Bdarg took him since the other matches are all during work hours- at least he gets to see one!

Thank goodness my husband can help him with his math homework- he passed me up in math skills when he hit 3rd grade.  He is also the science specialist, which is way more fun than math!

It is all about curiousity and power. Do you know that a little boy with a match is more powerful than both of his parents combined?  Maybe that is the same reason why many guys need multiple engines hanging off the back of their boats -- Power, Power, Power!
