Shameless Brag

My boys rock.

Ha!!  Doesn't every parent say that?

But I have proof!!!

Why RR rocks -

• When I asked RR where he lived; he said to me: In a dark timeless dimension.
• His new favorite ice cream is Vienna Mocha Chunk.
• He can't say Vienna; he says Vi-vi-vi-eee-na
• When stating his e-mail address, instead of saying "at gmail.com" he says "at special a (meaning the @) gmail.com)  
• He repeatedly tries to eat hot peppers, because he is some how convinced he MUST like them

Why TT rocks -

• He appreciates and understands how delicious blue cheese salad dressing is.
• He thinks the funniest thing in the world is putting something on your head and then pretending to sneeze (and hence whatever is on your head falls off).
• Sometimes, just sometimes, he warns you "I cry" before letting out a big old cry, sniffle and sob.
• He likes coffee (don't worry we only give him a few sips of decaf every now and then)

What?

One of the first blogs I ever wrote was called "Never Ending Questions".  I think I posted a total of four entries to it, and it dealt with dealing with RR and his being twice exceptional (gifted with Asperger's).

Tonight he posed such a question to me I actually considered resurrecting that blog.  

As I was tucking him in tonight he asked me what the difference was between carbon-monoxide and carbon dioxide.  I explained the molecular make-up and we began discussing where each one is found in the world around us and how they are different.  His conclusion was that neither was very good for humans since one can kill you quickly and the other lends a hand to global warming.  But if he had to live with "just one" he would pick the carbon dioxide since it won't kill him as fast.  

Where does he get this stuff from?
