  1. Sounds as though things are progressing very nicely! I congratulate your sons on their future conquest of the world, and ask only that I be allowed to function in their New World Order in some menial capacity.

  2. You have great kids!

      I was recently at my brother’s house and my nephew, who is six, was playing with a Lego spaceship he had built…humming the Star Wars score. I knew then what cool parents that kid had. 🙂

  4. Resistance is futile.

  5. My 13-year-old heartily approves his message 🙂
