Everett gets on these kicks where he talks nonstop. It happens a lot: somewhere in the neighborhood of every waking moment. Oddly enough, I tend to tune him out at times. I find myself mindlessly agreeing to all kinds of absurd things, like a plan to build a rocket/submarine in order to explore the depths of the ocean and the far reaches of outer space. And then I have to quickly backtrack. 
Anyway, I'm starting to wise up. This morning I was definitely paying attention. I was so amused I wrote the whole thing down while I was driving (Yes, it's entirely safe. Especially when traffic is moving at the furious speed of 15 mph).
So it went like this, "If only I were a better engineer, I could give the people of American Samoa a present - except most people here don't have coats - but I could give them a white Christmas. I'd have to fashion some kind of hyper shield or something to keep the snow from turning back into water. Records indicate there will be lots of water, I just need to make it turn into snow."
"Seriously. All I need to know is how to use some things that I'm not allowed to use yet."
Yes, there you have it. My 9-year old is convinced he can make snow on a tropical island. It's just those pesky adults and their rules that prevent all the fun. Well, and that whole thing about only being an average engineer. He really needs to get on top of that.

This post is hilarious. I love how he thinks of himself as an engineer.
It's great that you can take notes and drive at the same time. You would have major culture shock driving over here on the autobahn!
There's nothing lovelier than the imagination of a child! I love this story, it's so cute....let us know when you manage it, Everett....snow in paradise, we'd be there in a jiffy! Could you also invent some sort of machine so we could beam the Beagles over too, they love the snow!
Let me know when he's ready to apply for his first patent.
Hey! We've been given another award by a far away friend and want to give it to all our far away friends too, you're one of them and we didn't want to leave you out....come by and pick it up but only if you want....!
