Boys have been taking state standardized tests this week, and PFB finished yesterday.  This was his first time using Scantron cards, and he was clearly intrigued.  This was a conversation between the boys this morning on the way to school...

PFB:  You know how there's that grey number on your Scantron card?  When you get your Scantron, look and see what your number is so you can tell me.

GFB (belligerently):  Why?  So you can steal my identity???

I laughed out loud and reassured GFB that I doubted very much that that was PFB's intention.  Then again, who knows?  That kid's got all kinds of things up his sleeve...

In other news, I have a cold, with a bad sore throat.  I solicited advice on Facebook on how to get rid of it, and someone suggested cayenne tea.  A follow-up question confirmed she was suggesting I drink cayenne pepper mixed with hot water.  Yesterday I balked.  Today I just might try it...  I'm going to try Hot Tamales first though.
