Austin: "Daddy, can we play a game?"
Me: "I'm sorry buddy, I have to work on my thesis."
Austin: "Mommy was fast at her thesis. Why aren't you fast at your thesis like Mommy?"
Me: "Well, Mommy's smarter than I am"
Austin: "Why?"
Me: "I don't know, buddy. That's just how it is."
Austin: "But she's not smart about animals like you are. You're super smart about animals. You know where they live . . . what they eat . . . you know everything about animals"
Me: "Thanks buddy. Unfortunately, being smart about animals doesn't help much with a thesis."
Austin: (Sighhhhhh) "I just wish you were smart about your thesis like Mommy"
(Sighhhhhh) Me too, buddy . . . Me too . . .

hmmm, I think there is some memory loss here regarding how fast Audrey's thesis came together. No offense Audrey. Still, you'll be ecstatic when it's finished.
And, in the real world animals are much more relevant than some old thesis.
