We like to challenge our brains and use them and never seem to have the time to stop...I will tell you know I wish I still had those days and the energy to do them...so if anything you have to look forward to is that you will find rest and there will be less for you to do...so enjoy these crazy hectic days and all the questions and answers...your father was right when he said that why was almost banished from our house from the use of it for too many years (my mistake for having children four children who spanned 12 years apart) since someone was always asking me something. I remember saying to one of your brothers and you will be able to figure out which one...that I would pay him a dollar not to ask me a question until we reached the food store...no why is the traffic light made up of the three colors or red, yellow and green and not some other colors...or why sun shine brighter in one side of the car than the other...treasure these moments for soon you will be like me puttering around an empty house with no one to ask me why or for me to challenge...Love MomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751544138906505988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463497.post-46343228313531145542008-04-06T08:43:00.000-05:002008-04-06T08:43:00.000-05:00I see you are still a night owl. I will take part ...I see you are still a night owl. I will take part of the blame since when you were a baby we sometimes went food shopping with you at 2 AM. I know my parenting skills will get called into question but I was going to school full time days and working nights so we did what we had to. I like to think it made you very adaptable to whatever came your way. You did create your first database application before you were a teen and always wanted to be challenged. Reading and computers just gave you a new way to experiance things and understand how they worked. I do remember that the word WHY was almost banned in our house because every answer was always followed by another WHY. I know you have three outstanding and inquizical minds that you now have to feed so I am very comforted to know my answers to WHY are being passed on and the pleasure of seeing them understand the answers is one you now get to enjoy. So when the tenth WHY in succession comes your way try not to say "BECAUSE I SAID SO" but you eventually will.<BR/><BR/>Family ForeverGrandpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344968575116294621noreply@blogger.com
