My six year old has advanced from an estimated age of 3 to 5-and-a-half in reading..in just six weeks.

Great. But do they have any real world skills, like gutting a fish?

I left his dad/bailed on him when he was 12, after raising him for eight years. Both of his biological parents are also brain farts. He's still alive, and that's a huge deal.

A long time ago in the early days of Windows, I used to joke about how someone could fix anything by typing the DOS command "Format C:"

My cat wakes me up early in the AM and digs into my ear to tell me to feed him every day. I don't have kids.

If you could get your cat to live off of earwax, you could sleep in.

Which bears a starling relation to what I said.

You couldn't handle my cat.  When he wants to eat, he wants to eat, and he lets you know it.
