The twins headed straight to the well-stocked kid section and started going through books. They found all sorts of fun titles like "How to Do Your Homework without Throwing Up" and "Mom, There's a Pig in My Bed!". Pierce went there and looked through, but was disappointed he didn't find any books in the Maximum Ride series, which he has been reading for the past six months. He came over to where I was looking through books and said, "Mom, there's no good books here. I can't find any books in the Maximum Ride series." I looked up at the room stuffed with thousands of books and said, "Pierce, there are so many books here. You have to give them a chance. Look at the backs of the books and read what they are about. You can't tell me out of all these books you can't find a single one you'd like." There was an elderly gentleman next to me during this whole exchange. Pierce scampered off.
Five minutes later, he came running back, "Mom! Mom! I found the perfect book! It's just what I wanted!"
This is the book he had:
The elderly gentleman next to me couldn't help chuckling a bit as he saw the book that was causing my nine year old such glee.
And now the Electrical Wiring book has a proud spot on Pierce's bedroom bookshelf. I'm not sure what he's planning to wire, but I sure hope he runs it by me first...

I think Pierce has an interest in electrical wiring!
Be prepared!
a rather shocking subject. With age I like his being more discernible with topics.He may become your fix it specialist. I helped my grandfather every summer and learned carpentry at an early age.
LOL Not quite what you expected, but it is a book. And who knows what he'll learn from it? :-)
Now that's one smart kiddo!
Now, that has me smiling from ear to ear. Pierce is quite the boy. I hope he enjoys that book. :)

My first good laugh of the day. This is hilarious!! Has he read any of it yet? When he finishes it, bring him over here; we are trying to install a motion light. He will get free cookies. When he told you he didn't find anything, you said just the right thing to him. He needs to expand his reading adventures. Looks like he has done well.
Funny what kids can be interested in. :)
You never know what interest this book might spark!!
Glad he found something to read. I think his choice is fascinating! I hope he runs by any projects by you first too. :)

Don't make fun...my son loved to fix anything electrical when he was young...that and furniture. Now, he just built his own patio furniture!!..:)JP

Pierce is my hero.
That!
LOL....ah.... he is very bright. yup...i do hope he will let you know first before he tries anything
That is definitely an interesting choice!!
That's so funny and great at the same time. Maybe that's his calling if you believe in having a calling.
