Non-sports related story of pride.
OK, so they say water is going to fall out of the sky, lots of water, on Thursday. They say if you catch it in a bucket, and then stick a ruler in the bucket, you could find that you caught 3/4" of water.
To prepare for this event, I broke out the Rain-X, and was teaching the boy to do his own VW windows. First he cleaned them really well , then I handed him the bottle of Rain-X and a new towel. As he's wiping it on, the following:
"Dad, what is this, a hydrophobic?"
"Yes, alcohol-based. Where did you learn that word?"
"School"
Not only is he paying attention in school, and learning big-ass words, he understands the concept and can apply them fancy words to real-life situations that probably weren't taught in school biology class (I think that is where he lernt it)
