I LOVE being an Engineer

My 7-year-old son was recently given a set of good-quality knights and horses by my sister-in-law. The set came with a small catapult, which fired small, plastic rocks about 3 feet. Naturally, the rocks were soon lost and my son wanted it to shoot farther. With a change in the number, type and placement of the rubber bands, it will now shoot an ice cube far enough to hit the road from our front door (about 28 feet). Now that's fun!

  1. Weirdest thing... I 'Googled' the phrase "I love being an engineer" while watching my beloved History Channel, and your blog was the #1 hit. Good story about your boy. Raise him right. Later.
