I bet he was very proud to have you there. 10 is a great age.

Does he have this book yet? It’s fantastic:[Link: astore.amazon.com…]

You know, I think he does. Kid is an amazing reader. Get this, one night this summer, he comes in to my room and asks me if I have anything on WWI and I tell him I had All Quiet on the Western Front and he read quite a bit of that. Also, is anyone here a graphic novel fan? Ever hear of Art Spiegelman’s Maus I: My Father Bleeds History. I had to read that earlier this semester and I came home one weekend with it since I had to write a paper on it and he wanted to read that too. It was kinda amusing to see this fourth grader reading something assigned to a college student no less. He gives me hope for the future which I know sounds funny coming from a twenty three year old. And I was very proud of him. He finished in second in the Geography Bee. I joked later that he had studied for it by using the Onion’s Our Dumb World atlas. See, when I teach him stuff, I try to use humor.
