A little tale of a mom and a son....

It all happened on a muggy July afternoon. A mother and son were having our daily "Mommy/Son time". This is where Son gets to choose whatever he wants to do with his Mommy while Sister is sleeping. This particular time, Son chooses Knex - these microscopic little pieces of plastic that you configure together to create something unique and interesting....at least that's the goal. So Son, being highly skilled in this area (definitely inheriting it from his father) proceeds to create a fighter ship fully equipped with 7 guns, rotating pieces, multi-dimensional shape, etc (seen in photo on left). Mother is both impressed and intimidated by it. Mother knows how to make pretty music or dancing, not put together battleships. Mother commences an attempt to at least equal Son's efforts. She puts together a hot air balloon (seen in photo on right). At which point, Son says, "Mom, it's gotta be something interesting like mine. Yours doesn't have an engine. It's gotta have an engine and yours also looks like a sqeaky toy." The moral of the story...when Sons get to be 7, they have high expections for Mother/Son time.....do your homework first.
