Very nice of you. Love the quote, never heard it before. When they were wee little tykes and even not so wee, they had two options after being put to bed and before "lights out": Stare silently at the ceiling or read a book. They made the wise choice and read. It paid off very well and now I'm the proud father of two full blown Nerds! Yay Nerds!

It's not supposed to prove anything. Octafish Mar 2016 #17
