Sounds like my aunt, the breeder. Three, four? kids and she's a school
teacher. Oldest one just graduated. Everytime they (my father's side of
the family) gets together, same thing... $kid did this, $kid1 did this...

If I wasn't on a borrowed laptop, I would have let the kid play. But I had
to turn that one in... great way to kill time on a booooring family trip
(inverter + laptop = non-bored geek)
