Max, who is now 7½ years of age, asked me yesterday about the AC sign on the dashboard of the van.
"Does AC mean 'accelerated cooling'?" he asked.
"Wow! You are amazing," I gushed. "That was a terrific guess! It actually means Air Conditioning."
I could see him blush in the rear-view mirror over my motherly accolades.
I quickly added in my sarcastic manner, a manner in which my children have grown quite accustom and no doubt will afford them plenty of embarrassment in their teen years, "I'm glad I'm saving for your college," I chided him with a sing-song voice, "those quantum mechanics classes are going to be a lot of mo-ney!"
"I like science," he stated quite matter of fact.
Jeez, when I was in grade school I thought Quantum Mechanics was the four guys that worked on your car at the dealership. Now I know that college fund will pay off.
