Mee My Mo: My life as I know it, breathe it, live it and love it!

Wiley is my little wealth of knowldege who is always curious about more information. He simply loves information, mostly on the Civil War, but really on anything.

Questions/comments he has asked me this week alone.

1. "What is the significance of the hourglass on pirate flags?"
2. "George Washington Carver used peanuts to make soap, cheese, coffee, ink, milk, and oh uh, shampoo!"
3. "Did you know that gagging is good? Yeah it removes all the mucous."
4. "It takes 80 bags of manuer to produce one bag of potatoes."
5. "In ancient egyptian times, they were comfotable painting naked ladies."
6. "Seventy-five percent of the dust under your bed is actually dried skin."
7. "If God came to you in a dream and told you to move to Antarctica, would you move?"
8. (to Bobby) "Did you know the only civilian killed in the Gettysburg battles was a woman in her house baking bread, that was shot by a confederate bullet that went through her wall, her name was Jenny Wade?"
9. "Mom wisdom is given to you by God and knowledge is just human studies and stuff like that."
10. "Do you know that the man that broke the record for knowing languages knew 27 languages, I don't know his name though.....maybe we could look that up!"



These are things he made me research with him this week:
1. The Lost City of Atlantis (was in fact theorized to be built on a volcano)
2. Is there life on other planets? (He concluded no)
3. The significance of the hourglass on pirate flags. (ask him, and he will tell you all about it)

Most of the time Wiley is talking. He talks about things that sometimes my mind can't keep up with everything he is saying. I told him the other day (just to see what his reaction would be) that he'd be going to public school. He cried. I told him I was joking. So what does my son want to be? His first thought was that he just wanted to inherit money. I was upset and asked him why. He apparently didn't know someone had to die for you to get the inheritance. So he has changed from wanting to be a historian to now an archeologist. His back up plan is to play in the NFL, even though he says thats "ridiculous", so "if that doesn't work than I can join the army and make a few bucks....and I found out they give you money for school!"
