A few things that have made me laugh lately:

Seen:
Watching Levi having a naked Ring-Around-the-Rosey session with himself. He had escaped while being dryed off after his bath. I wish I had a video of him smiling and spinning in the corner of his room.

Read: "Structural engineering is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly understand into shapes we cannot precisely analyse so as to withstand forces we cannot properly assess in such a way that the public at large has no reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance." (Dr. A.R Dykes in the 1946 Chairman's Address to the Scottish Branch of the Institution of Structural Engineers)

Overheard:
Luke: "No, Levi, don't touch"
Levi: "uuuuhn!"
Luke: "Get out of the trash"
Levi: "uuuhhnnnn!"
Luke: "Well, if you're hungry I'll get you a snack, you don't have to go dumpster diving."

I think the definition of 'structural engineering' sounds like the perfect definition of parenthood :) I think both parents and structural engineers might not fully appreciate their input until their ''structure'' is ''completed''. ''Completion'' might always waiver a bit with individual definitions. But - as always - you learn and enjoy with each phase of development!
