That is one argument I never accepted from him or anyone else. He is no more intelligent than his old man and since I got through school without relying on that one I told him he damn well better too.
It is not as though I put up an unattainable goal for him. I told him "all I ask is NOT to hear from your teachers." That barely made it past third grade.
Nuke school is busting his butt but good though. He says "Dad some of those guys are CRAZY smart." LoL.
Hahaha. "...some of those guys are CRAZY smart." My oldest son was going through nuke school two years ago and that was HIS thought, too!
