That sounds like the kind of thing I'd love to do. The end result is excellent, too.<BR/><BR/>The guesses about possible future careers and personality traits based on such isolated incidents (or are they?) are funny, too. <BR/><BR/>They sound like great kids ... and extremely entertaining.Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-77448123625496866262007-03-14T18:24:00.000-05:002007-03-14T18:24:00.000-05:00Fantastic Post!Everyone here at work is looking at...Fantastic Post!<BR/>Everyone here at work is looking at me funny as I giggled my way through.<BR/><BR/>Son has the potential to be an artist and make billions of dollars selling his taped together works of art... and daughter can be the accountant and manage the billions of dollars.<BR/><BR/>I read a lot as a child, collected rocks, played school, pretended to have a house with a husband and kids.
