I'm 40 and my son is 2. He usually spends a week with me the usual twice a month deal. When he goes to the shop with me he knows we are going to work. He cleans up the shop best as he can and I pay him for it. Then he has a choice at the end of the week to go to walmart or put the money in a coffee cup and save it for later. He usually wants to put it in the coffee cup and save it.


Case and point. Sitting on the front porch the other afternoon watching the traffic after the high school let out and what I mostly saw was kids driving cars that were no less than 3 years old. It was probably a case of daddy I want that and daddy goes and buys it. There is one kid that drives a red mustang. He passed my house doing about 80 MPH in a 40 MPH zone. The cops are worthless in this town. Called his dad told him the situation. He apologised for it and said he would take care of the problem. A few days later I could see he really solved the problem. The same kid drove by in a almost new 4X4 truck. Its the parents as well as the kids.

Yeah my dad made me pay for my first bike. I had $20 and put it on layaway (do they let you layaway anymore?) Then I worked for him all summer. I helped build the first road that lead to a new mall in Farmington, NM and help start a brindge to Bloomfield, NM. Took my kids there one day when visiting and told them I helped build this and this and this. They asked how old I was. Told them I was 10 - 12 yrs old. They thought I was lieing to them. I got to use the heavy equipment and the all mandatory shovle.

My son is 15 and wants to get an escalaid or lexas SUV. I told him to get a job and he might be able to buy my 92 camry for bluebook.

I was in 6th Grade when the Challenger blew up, but we weren't in class. Since Christa Maculiffe (sp?) was going to be the first teacher in space, this was a big deal to all the teachers. The school I was attending was trying out a new idea, large, open areas with no walls between the "rooms". When it came near lauch time the three sixth grade classes got together in a large common area and watched the launch. Not long after the explosion the sent us all back to class. None of us could stay focused...kept talking about the shuttle.

Things I'll never forget:

1. My 19 day-old brother dieing when I was three.
2. Challenger
3. First day of Basic Training
4. Getting married
5. Each of the three times I should've died
6. Birth of each of my kids
7. September 11th
8 Where I was when I heard that Discovery blew apart on re-entry.
9. Various memories from Thailand. Watched a Thai funeral (creamation), watched folks cry after we gave them sheets of plywood and some MREs.
10. Getting caught in the zipper when I was a kid. :shock:
