There ya go doll!
Matthew just out of the blue said "I'm glad I'm here in the center of the United States with the thick web of the Army National Guard around me."
I asked "Makes you feel safe, doesn't it?"
"Yep." he replied.
Something must be on his mind...
Oh!! I just figured it out! The Cuban Missile Crisis! He was studying that yesterday, I bet that is what it was.
I told him that we used to have "bomb drills" when I was a kid, where we crouched under our desk...but that Steve didn't. I showed him Houston on the map and Silver Bay Minnesota on the map and their relation to Cuba. I said "See why we had bomb drills but Dad didn't?"
He's happy we're in the center, not near the coast...I bet that's what brought it up.
