Read an article just after Andrew got home from school, and told him that the University of Delaware just started offering an undergraduate program in meteorology and climatology. (he thinks he wants to be an engineer, but he is intensly interested in weather--so I'm happy to encourage either) He looked at me and said, "Mom....I'm twelve."
And my deep thought for the day I gave him.
It is never to early to plan for your future. Don't let it happen, Make it happen.
Andrew nods his head in agreement.
"Okay Mom...I have to poop."
Yeah, for a minute there I thought he recognized I said something profound....better luck next time.
