If you offer to give a boy named Dallin a workbook, he is going to want to go to Costco to pick it out himself. When you get to Costco, he'll probably try to get you to buy him all the workbooks that the store has to offer. When you tell him no (becauase he has already completed most of the workbooks there) he will smile and say, "But I can just do the same workbooks over again!" When you get home and open the drawer that houses the workbooks you'll realize its probably time to get rid of some of the old completed ones because the drawer can hardly shut. When you start piling up all of the workbooks that Dallin has completed over the last two years you'll realize that perhaps Dallin isn't a normal kid. Then, as you start to throw some of the old ones away, you'll start to feel a little bit of GUILT because you feel like you are throwing away some of the material things that remind you of Dallin as a little boy doing the things he loves to do. When you come up with the idea of taking a picture of Dallin with all of his books to remember all of the thousands of pages he has completed, you will feel better. After you have decrapified the workbook drawer you will set Dallin's new workbook in the clean empty drawer and think to yourself, "My little boy isn't so little anymore." So, you look forward to all of the new things that he will learn as newer and more difficult workbooks will slowly fill the drawer again. And chances are, when Dallin sees the newly emptied drawer he will say, "We should go to Costco again so I can pick out some more workbooks."

I can't believe how smart that kid is and it's hilarious how much he loves his workbooks!
Holy cow! What a genius child (not surprising considering his parents)! I sure wish I could get Brendan to do workbooks!
I like your word "decrapified" I need to do some of that around the house too!
Seriously teared up a little reading that because yes when I see work books I think of Dallin. Love that genius kid!
