Today my son Jason was told he has the highest IQ, In his school! But that is not
what makes him special! Jason is special because he genuinely cares about people.
By the time he was 5 yeas old, I was discussing the "Theory of Relativity", With him.
(To The best of my ability lol)
One day when Jason was 10 years old, I wanted to test him with a moral Question.
So I said to him "Jason if I told that I didn't want you to marry a black girl and
I don't think its right for whites and blacks to marry, What would you say? He looked
at me Without hesitation and in a stern voice and said" Dad that is not right!"
He said "Dad you dont really feel that way do you?" I just pulled him close to me
and gave him a big hug and said "no" and smiled.
He is 11 years old now. A few months ago he told me he wants to do something
really great with his life, Something to make the World a better place.
He also has come around socially, A few months back I was having a bad day.
He came into my room and found me worrying! He walked over and hugged me!
That was the first time my son ever initiated a hug! Anyway im done bragging lol
