I've never done one of these before, but hey, there's a first time for everything.

Harry turned 11 on Saturday
Which explains the conversation I just had with him (at least I think it does):
Harry: From now on I'm going to use Celsius.
Me (talking the bait, I know I shouldn't have): It will be difficult because everything here is in Farenheit and most people won't understand you.
Harry: I'm still going to switch to Celsius.
Me (pretty much losing it): You can't. People won't be able to understand what you are talking about. You'll have to move to Europe.
Harry: But I don't want to move to Europe.
Me: Just do your work!
A few minutes go by in which he is actually working.
Under his breath Harry mumbles, "Dad uses Celsius."
Me: No more about Celsius. Ever!
(Jason does use Celsius because he is a scientist and Harry is planning to be one. But in order for that to happen, he's going to have to survive 5th grade.)
