Not as bad as I feared.<\/p>\n

With the cube, he has a little James Bond thing going on <\/div>\n

Saturday evening, we picked up Charlie’s Bar Mitzvah suit after some tailoring.<\/p>\n

Well, Charlie really<\/b> hated the idea of wearing a tie, but he has to wear one, so we got him a normal tie when we bought the suit a week ago.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, he said that he wanted to wear a bow-tie.<\/p>\n

I told him that I did not know how to tie a bow-tie, and that I had already paid for a tie.<\/p>\n

He agreed to pay for the tie out of his own money, and said that he’d learn to tie a bow tie from Youtube.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, we fired up the laptop, and he stood in front of the mirror, and practiced, but he didn’t get it right.<\/p>\n

Well, we had a wedding to go to, a three hour trip to Lakewood, NJ, and he practiced, and he taught himself how to wear a bow tie on the way. (We brought the regular tie as a backup)<\/p>\n

So, he’s spouts obscure scientific erudition, he does Rubik’s Cube type puzzles, and now he’s wearing a bow tie.<\/p>\n

As you can see, I got some action pix (my phone has a rapid fire shooting option) of him doing a one-handed solve. <\/p>\n

Gawd.<\/p>\n

There is no hope for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
