A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

Sharkblog tells us about his evil genius toddler:

My son is a genius. You probably already knew that, but here is the latest proof.

David can now count to 10 in five different languages:

* Spanish (the language of his pre-school teacher)
* Korean (mommy's heritage)
* Hebrew (daddy's heritage)
* Italian (mommy and daddy took lessons)
* English (the language we speak at home)

He can actually count to 20 in all of these except Korean. Honest, we're not pushing him or anything. He actually asked us to teach him to count in all of these languages...

My son is also a threat to our nation's automobiles. The other day when he was behind the wheel of the Subaru, he shoved his little plastic bubble wand all the way into the slot of the in-dash CD player. Now the CD player is useless.We're afraid to put any CDs in there lest they jam up or start sounding like Lawrence Welk. But there are serious consequences for toddlers who commit such dastardly deeds. He's not getting the keys to the BMW until he makes me whole for the Subaru.
