Sometimes the mom in me clouds my judgment so much that the normal becomes extraordinary. LOL This is not one of those times. <BR/><BR/>I was wondering if he just wanted more attention or if he really was interested in watching the politicians talk. Now I know. He's really understanding.<BR/><BR/>I shouldn't have been surprised. This is the boy who asked me to explain Quantum Physics out of the blue, one morning while he was eating his breakfast.
