Oh, another funny. Yesterday Brennan was playing with his friend Isaac and when I picked him up he came running up the stairs with a pile of broken pieces of an electric bubble gun. He was holding the motor and several wires. He loudly & enthusiastically said "MOM!! Isaac and me broke this and he said I can keep it! I am going to light these wires on fire--when I'm a grown-up."
Boy, am I glad he remembered that kids should never play with matches! He has an elaborate plan to save the wires until he is a grown up and then he and Isaac will own an "electric company" where they will stand inside a cage and use a computer to light the wires on fire and make lightning all around them. (Sound familiar to anyone who has seen the Sorcerer's Apprentice?) He drew a picture of them inside the cage with lightning all around them and asked me to label it "Lightning from the Electric Company of Isaac and Brenny Guy."
I love these funny boys. Kaeleb wants to be an inventor when he grows up and has already started drawing rough plans of his inventions and deciding which materials he will need to make them. So far, the favorite ideas are a real light saber and a flying car. He said "I will build my company in Heber so I can live close to you, but you might see me on the news sometimes, too."
Someday, when my children become a physicist and an engineer I will remember this day.
