And starts to give a pen a vigorous workout.
Quick jots here and
Long lines there.
He pauses to push the hair out of his eyes and sigh.
He scratches the whole thing out and starts again.
I sidle over to where he sits,
Anxious to see a funny new drawing,
But there are no rock bands playing guitars.
There are no baseball teams. No Zombies
No TNT.
There are numbers.
Progressively bigger numbers!
He is challenging himself!
He is doing math- high level math
On Summer Break!
He diligently continues his work unabated for several more minutes
Until finally, he looks up,
Beaming with pride.
"Look, Dad" We still have 5,184,000 seconds left of summer vacation before school starts!"
