The other day we were all talking about something we were afraid about. Gavin knows my propensity for the 'worse case scenario' mentality. So obviously I was talking about some unfounded fear and taking it to the n'th degree when Gavin tells me, "Mom, you just let your fears ferment."
Hmmmm....I had never thought of it that way, but now that you mention it, yes...I will be sure to no longer allow my fears to ferment.
Today I had asked him to turn on some music for me while I was preparing dinner. He gladly turned on Grooveshark. Instead of putting my playlist on, he put his on. I had asked specifically for one song. He came up to tell me, "Mom, I increased the probability that you will hear that song by adding it to the list 7 times. So, since I have approximately 49 songs on my playlist, the probability that you will hear it again is about 1 in every 7 songs."
Thanks. Um...but I didn't ask you to do any math, just put on a song.
At dinner tonight he told us how awesome RNA is. He said he just loves amino acids and went on to explain and detail what an RNA chain looks like only using scientific terminology. It's as if he had a tape recorder on during science class today and he just pressed play when he got home. I cannot even begin to imagine how awesome it must feel to have a photographic memory or a tape recorder for a mind. He went on to excitedly tell us all about the different parts of a cell (as you would see in a college text book) and then ended with, "I just love microbiology!"
And I just love you Gavin! I love how you see the world and your excitement for learning. I love how you drink it up and share it with such excitement. Thank you for always teaching me. And thank you for still asking me questions thinking I know any answers at all. Google, I love you.
