Pointless Ramblings

I think the boy may have gotten SOMETHING from us... some creative genes. He's been really into drawing lately and will spend a good amount of time making intricate drawings of "machines" that turn big pieces of paper into smaller ones. He'll spend five minutes explaining where the paper goes in the machine, the route in which it goes through (complete with swooshing sound effects), and where it comes out. Perhaps a career in engineering is in his future? (A word of advice, though: Don't suggest that to him. He's convinced he's going to be a teacher.)
