Father Curmudgeon's Day

Thing 2 decided to make a play for "favorite curmudgeling" by suggesting a beer tasting for Father's Day this year. Mrs. Curmudgeon did the bulk of the legwork and preparation, of course, pairing each selection with cheeses and sausages (yum). Credit where credit is due: Thing 2 did put together a video presentation on the history of beer. The kid has potential.

That puts me in mind of a Father's Day project he did back in first grade, for which, for reasons I don't entirely understand, he was asked to describe the paterfamilias. Even several years later, his description remains accurate (although I have put on a few pounds since).

Sam has potential as Eden's future husband. I like how you're raising him. Although, he clearly has limited math skills (9 feet tall!) and is prone to exaggeration ("cooks" hamburgers - since when is medium rare cooked hamburger?!) But those 2 things are known to be weaknesses in American understanding so we'll take care of that once we bring him over into the land of gun control and sane constitutional monarchy. His creativity and perceptiveness are really quite favourable. He must get that from Mrs. Curmudgeon. ;)
