Another two reasons why a paternity test is not needed

A few days ago, out of the blue, Isaac asked me for a new bag.  He wants "the perfect bag" he said.  What is the perfect bag?  Well, just like is father he had a long list of requirements, some of which are seemingly impossible to be meet.  The big thing is he wants a bag with water bottle holders on the side.  

Why?  Because after picking him up red faced and sweaty at camp a few days in a row we asked him why he hadn't drank his water and he told us--it got hot and hot water is gross.  So we went to Target and had him look through all of their water bottles. After picking up and trying a bunch, there was clearly a method in his madness, he finally settled on one (a very good design) and he loved it.  

The water and red faced problem was solved and now we have a backpack problem.  We talked about what he wanted and then he asked if they would have them in Maine.  Every year we go to the LL Bean flagship store in Maine and last year he remembered hunting for lunch boxes.  So naturally he thought, correctly, that they would have his perfect backpack in Maine.  

Last night before bed he asked me if I was sure they'd have the perfect backpack.  Then I told him the truth--if any place will have it, it's Maine, but it might not exist.  He didn't like that answer at all, but I told him not to worry and that we'd do some research before we get to Freeport.  That was a good answer.  This entire thing is something I can totally relate to.  

Then last night while playing Isaac asked me if a carbon fiber sword could cut through a lightsaber.  

Totally my son.
