Kids....

Kids can be amazing.

My boy is 14 and he is showing me the math test he took today. It looks like an alien language. And he got 124 points out of a possible 125. It's filled with stuff just like you'd think; 2x-9y over 11z = 10W over 92c. Or it asks stuff about how to find the angle of a hexigon when two of the angles add up to 12 degrees.

Lost. I have absolutly no clue about what it means any more. Not that I ever did, because even at his age I was never very good at math. And that kills me because I always wanted to be a scientist.

But he makes it look easy. Of course he is made it worse (for me) by spouting math rules and formulas as quickly as he could spit them out.

And he's not a math geek. He plays football and baseball, he's good at both, he rides his bike all day and runs non-stop. He's also a wiz at video games.

Little rat-bag's got a lot going for him already.

I love the little rat-bag so much.
