My kid

I was telling Beta about this website that has a form where you can type in your name, and it shows you your name in Egyptian hieroglyphs; but she already knew how to write her name in hieroglyphs.

I won’t mention, though, what grades she got this year, because there’s nothing more irritating than someone bragging about their kid, is there? If you want to know, send me a mail.

    Don’t hide her light under a bushel. Speak up.

    Thanks for the museum website link! There’s a bunch of stuff on there that might interest my [college freshman] students. (Assuming, of course, that they can express interest in a course they have to–and usually don’t want to–take.)

  3. Good girl! I was scribing in hieroglyphics, under my grandfather’s tutelage, at about the same time I was writing cursive English. Sounds like Austria provides some nice educational opportunities for the kids! (That’s one of my things about childbearing my own self – I want to first move to Amsterdam or Newcastle or London, so my kids can grow up in my ideal of polite society. Berkeley’s a pretty close second though.)

    My money’s on a 3.98 average.
    Eh? Eh?
