Poor kid, doomed to grow up with two math professors as parents. So much for the excuse "my parents couldn't help me - they didn't understand it either" when not doing his/her math homework... Btw, my son is doomed to the same fate, as both my wife and I are math professors, too. The article mentions the birth of your first child.

Funny, I'd mention it again today if I were taking the class again. This is simply the best site on the Internet. Thanks, Sean.
