Splinters--they ain't just for wood

I'm talking about Drew, of course. He's such a wonderful combination of book-smart and young nut. Yesterday he just amazed me. Tuesday is Tae Kwon Do night and we always go out to eat before his lesson. We went to Black and Gold Pizza in Covington (great place, incidentally) and Drew noticed a Sudoku book on a shelf with coloring books, etc. for the younger patrons' amusement. It was a regular old sudoku book with the 3x3 grids. Incredulously, I asked him if he was going to attempt to do it himself. His reply? "Mom, this one's only a two-star. Please." And then he proceeded--with only my assistance of picking out the easiest places to go--to do the whole thing in about 15 minutes.

So why does this kid still need reminded to eat with utensils? And yesterday he spent a good 5 minutes spinning around in the hallway after school. Just, you know, spinning around for the heck of it. Such a silly saladhead.
