I wonder if I could pass the 5th grade…

Tonight I helped my daughter with her 5th grade Science homework.  Thank God my wife was there because I never did well in school and after reading her homework questions I realized that I probably still wouldn’t be a good student.  For some reason my brain is just not wired that way.  I can figure out just about any technical issue or read technical manuals cover to cover in an evening, but I always found things like doing homework very difficult.  Thankfully my wife is a huge egghead and was able to greatly simplify the answers that I would have given or we’d never get any sleep.
