But sometimes, even innocent things can come back and bite you in the hindquarters.</p>
<p>Eldest was having a tough time with her Physics homework last night. Son is a wiz when it comes to that, so he decided to help her. While he was explaining to her things like velocity and acceleration and a tree that apparently a car hit, she sighed and said, &#8220;This is why I don&#8217;t like Physics.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whereupon the Sage of Casa de Aggie says this:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to like it. You have to conquer it! You have to drive a stake through it&#8217;s heart and pluck it from it&#8217;s chest and eat it while it&#8217;s still beating! That&#8217;s what you have to do to physics! You have to make it your little&#8211;well, you know what I&#8217;m saying.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I have to admit, that was pretty cool of me to say. And I did manage to censor myself before I said something totally inappropriate in front of the kids. Still, I had gained some coolage brownie points with my kids, who usually see me as a fuddy duddy, stuffy old bat.</p>
<p>Yesirree Bob, I was <em>cool!!</em></p>
<p>Cool enough for my Eldest to put that on her status at Facebook.<em> GAH!!!</em></p>
<p>I hope no one judges me too harshly. Coolage brownie points still count for something!<em></em></p>
