I read last night that Detroit spends $32 to process a $30 parking ticket. Make sure you teach your boys how to analyze costs. That knowledge comes in handy when the budget is on the table.

i just shared that article with them when i came across it the other day! they are critical thinkers... we can be driving around with the radio on, and they will hear an ad... they will often pick the ad apart--the claims that are made...

they have life skills... and will attain more...

btw--they know how to cook, have doing their own laundry since they were six years old, know how to pitch a tent, build a fire, launch, drive and dock a boat... my older son knows how to do electrical work, they play piano, guitar, recite poetry...

their daddy and i both employ "teachable moments" on any situation or topic that presents iteselt... in fact, their daddy, who is highly intelligent and of the science-minded sort, is going to give them hands-on learning of the car engine...
