So I ask my nine year old daughter, who's listening to music on her iPad, is there anything I can get her for Christmas (recognizing, like me, she had peculiar tastes that my wife may not be so inclined to indulge). She pulls one of her earbuds out, and says, "well, there is one thing," and pulls up Amazon and shows me this, which I immediately ran downstairs and ordered for her:
True that. I'll forget in a week or two everything else that happens this Christmas, but I'll remember this forever. Her favorite show is "Top Gear," which isn't really age appropriate, but my wife doesn't need to know that. So although I'm not totally surprised she came up with that book, especially given how much she looks for new things to read, it was pretty cool that she actually searched for a book like that. She just got herself a Miata for her first car when she turns sixteen, she just doesn't know it yet.
