I'm cracking up! CW is my older(18), Ammo is 16; what about Nicholas-is he the 13? (love that name) I'll have to find and PM you the post where CW comes home incensed over his first paycheck. He didn't realize he had to pay taxes. That was the first time he decided he could do a better job than the people in charge. One night my inlaws were visiting and we got him going for about an hour. I wish that I had a tape of some of his diatribes. He talks very fast and uses big words in complex sentences and he is impassioned. It took me a while to realize that he used the same big words a lot. I noticed they showed up in his college application essays. And one day his brother was preparing a speech and CW said, with the air of one imparting a great gift, "You need to use this word here." (I forget what word--they're words like substantive and inversely) "People respect this word. They'll think you know what you're talking about." He turned to me with this disarming smile and said, "I have about ten words like that I pull out when I'm trying to convince people of something." THe Emperor's Mother sounds classier than the Dictator's Mom. DIctator sounds so army green and swastika-ish. I'll ask CW about being a King instead. Do you think we can get together and do royal things? Visit each other on our royal yachts?
