    This is wonderful! What a great thing!

    I am bothered, however, by that fact that your young scholar has a better grasp of syntax than their teacher, as evidenced by the horrendous 'correction' in the first ('two') sentence('s')!

    HAHAHA
    I had to look twice and discovered it can work either way.
    My wife did the correcting. I'll have to point that out to her

    Joshua is my oldest Boy and the "J" in JMS is his first initial. "M" and "S" are for my other two children, Matthew and Sandra.

    Well, what a wonderful thing! Thanks Mark, for some reason that made my day. I especially liked the bit where you get "owies".... Something tells me that "owie" is not the exact word you would use when you hurt yourself on the job... lol!

    Your son shows a logical thought progression in his writing too. He clearly sets up what it is you do, then goes on to describe the consequences of that to the people you do the work for, and then ties that back to why that makes you a hero. I think you may have a budding mathematician on your hands there.

    James.
