Tonight, Sam wanted to know what Katie weighed. He just came home from 10 days at Cran-Hill last night, so Katie was happy to see him and was willing to put up with his experiment. Sam is her favorite boy. 

Sam picked Katie up and lugged her in to my bathroom. He climbed on the scale. Together, they weigh 63 pounds. He set Katie down and weighed himself. 54 pounds. He then subtracted his weight from the first number to figure out what the car weighs. Is this rocket science? Of course not. But (at not quite 7 years old) he figured it out all by himself. Bill was very proud and gave Sam a big high five. 

And Sam informed me that when he grows up, his truck will have a trailer hitch on it. Well, duh. :-)
