Generation I-Am-WAY-Smarter-Than-My-Parents
Last night during dinner, I asked Isak what he did in school that day. He said, “We didn’t have reading this morning. Instead, we had science questions!” Isak has commented several times to me that they don’t have science in school and he really wishes they did, so I knew this would be a lot of fun for him. Science. I hated science.
“My question was, ‘Is Antarctica colder than Iceland?’”
“And? What did you find out?”
“Antarctica IS colder than Iceland.”
“Well, how do you know that?”
“Because Iceland is kept warm by the Gulf Stream from the Gulf of Mexico.”
Blink blink.
“Uhhh. Wow! Did you read that in a book?”
“No, I Googled it.”
Back when I was a kid, we had to go to the library! And look up our answers in encyclopedias! Using the Dewey Decimal System! And walk backward, uphill, both ways in the snow! With no shoes!

That kid is going to be something special someday. Between that and his math skills, im very impressed.

That is also why Iceland is usually warmer than continental Europe as well.
