nate the great

nathan is nathan...he is such a passionate, thoughtful, emotional, flexible guy - lately he has had some really deep life questions that i'm not sure how to answer them all...heres whats been going through his mind this week.
  • "mom i know why car insurance is more for boys aged 16-21 - they probably are driving too fast to look too cool." which leads to this...

  • "mom does car insurance go down if your a boy and you don't get any tickets or accidents from 16 years old till your 20 years old?" (i think so - ummm - ask ms. sarah)

  • "mom, i can't decide on whether to go to ut or baylor?" well...this lead to many points with nathan - public vs. private college cost/living at home vs. living on campus/what you want to be when you grow up can help you select which college....by the way - the presidents daughter went to ut (didn't know that until she was out plugging her new book this week)..."well, it ut then. " ok - glad we have that decision made...save time in high school..

  • "mom, does the one google twin still live with his mother even though he's rich?" yes...nathan loves the forbes top 400 list issue and has studied it all week...hence the comment "mom if dad were michael dell everyone would call their computer a sippel."

  • "mom exactly what did the google twins create to make them rich?" (try answering that one in a simple sentence...(do you love how he calls them the twins - we have explained it to him that they really aren't twins...)

  • "mom, why didn't vince young finish college?" (you'll have to ask him...)

  • "mom, are time machines for real?"

some thought provoking words from a nine year olds world...of course, nathan can't yet tie his shoes but thats a whole different story....peace.
