A Homework Chuckle....

I really thought this story merited a "double" entry for today. This evening as Max and I were winding down with his homework we took out his library books to read before bed. Tonight's selection was titled "American Mastodon", towards the end of the book Max read, "American mastodons died about 10,000 years ago." At this point Max exclaimed, "Wow Mom that's even older than you.....isn't it?" Can someone please explain to this child that if I look pre-historic it might just have something to do with him, 30+ surgeries, countless days in the hospital, more sleepless nights and bad coffee than I care to remember and my all time favorite - the daily fights with insurance companies, DME providers and doctor's offices?
