Conversation with my 10 y.o. son today @ 7:a:

Son: Hey Dad, what are those?

Me: They’re lug nuts. I gotta return them.

Son: How come?

Me: (trying to dumb it down) Well Son, I have a different thread pitch and need the right size. You know when a bolt and nut go together? The little lines are called threads and I need the right size to make them fit and hold properly.

Son: You mean to keep your wheel on your axles?

Me: Go to school Son

Son: Again?

Ron: Go to school son.

^ this is the point really Ry. It's not my kid. It's our kids, our families and our hobbies that make some sense out of all this madness...
