Luke's curiosity level is so high it is good he was born in the age of Google. Luke loves looking up some of the biggest and fastest things in the world. He asks me, I estimate and am usually off by a factor of 5, and then we check on the computer. Here are some of his favorites on You-tube or Google.
Top 5 fastest men ever in 100m
Fastest superbike in the world
Smallest weight in the universe
Bloodhound scc breaks the 1,000 mile barrier
2011 ReMax World Long Drive Championship
260 mph drag boat
15 fastest things in the universe...the problem is number one is a hypothetical physics theory of a tachyon that travels faster than the speed of light. Luke loves it and pretrends to travel on one and calculates the time it will take to get to Eris. The only thing is that in his mind it is not hypothetical.
Yesterday Luke wanted to calculate the weight of everyone on Pluto...
- Luke 3.08 pounds
- Eva 2.04 pounds
- Baby 0.5 pounds
- Ollie the stuffed animal 4.95 grams
- Lewis the stuffed animal 5.09 grams
- Lamby the stuffed animal 8.7 grams
He also wants to go to Australia to golf on the longest golf course in the world. I told him that tickets were a little expensive, $2,000 each. So here is his plan... right now his rate is 25 cents a job above and beyond his normal chores. If he does really well he can earn about $10 a month, $120 a year. Then when he is 12 years old I am having on him do some babysitting where he should get payed better, he may even be a caddy at 14 so I figured $240 a year. When he is 16 he can get a job at Aldi where he can make $11/hour and he will need to work there for about 18 weeks. He was asking about his training and how he will know the codes to everything and I reassured him about the training process. So in 10 years he will have saved over $4,000 for plane tickets. He plans to pay for Eva's ticket in full. He also wants to have some money left over. These calculations don't include giving or spending... but he is so sweet in his goal setting and taking care of his little sister.
