But He'll Be Great At Cocktail Parties

My kid may not be conventional, but he is quintessential Noah.  Always.

For instance, he has two school projects going on this week.  The first was an "expert" book.  The kids had to pick something they wanted to become an expert in.  They wrote books and invited the parents in for their publishing party.

Both Brian and I were able to make it, squatting down uncomfortably to sit on kid chairs and milk crates while the kids each read their books to all of the parents.

Noah's table mates had books on:

1. Wolves
2. The Human Body
3. Horses
4. The Nation of Cambodia

And Noah's?

5. Awesome Quarterbacks

Not just regular old quarterbacks, awesome ones.  The cream of the crop NFL quarterbacks.  The other kids were talking about blood circulation, and zebras being a part of the horse family, and the Camobodian flag, and my kid was educating us on the Manning family football dynasty.

Next up was his biography project.  Simple project.  Pick someone you are interested in and do a biography on them.  Other kids have picked some of the usual suspects.  Presidents, Martin Luther King, Jr., and so on.

My kid?

Bono.

As in, U2 Bono.

So, no, Noah's not going to follow the common path.  But when the other kids are discussing flags and fur, Noah will be able to hold his own talking about sports and music.


Oh yeah, and did I mention he does a mean impersonation Peter Sagal and Carl Kasell on NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me"?

Nope, he's not conventional, but he'll be the guy people want to talk to at a party.
