Default Conversation with my 10 YO son tonight...

Lying in bed, talking about the world:

Dad - OK buddy, time to go to sleep it's 9:08
Son - Dad, will you stay till 9:11?
Dad- I can't say no to that...

3 minutes later -
Dad: Alright buddy - it's 9:11, goodnight
Son: Dad, will you stay till 9:18?
Dad: You think I'm made of money? Goodnight.

Thus verifying the car gene does not get passed equally to each sibling!

He hasn't quite made it to the non road cars. He does know what a 9:30 and a 3:56 is so I had to cut it off somewhere ;-)

Just a heads up about how smart this boy is. He and his 3 buddies are cycling AMP tomorrow in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. It's tied in with our Smokies Fall event and they've already raised a staggering $4000+ !!!

If anyone wants to contribute, here's the link:

It's a plug but for a fantastic cause.
