If Your Bored, Talk to Jack

Sometimes I sit down and have absolutely nothing to say.  Perhaps there is nothing all that exciting about the day and maybe I just don't feel impressed with anything in particular.  What I need to do is just sit and hang out with the kids for a while and they will come up with something that will get my thoughts moving.  Jack just came in and mentioned that tonight is not a homework night.  He has requested a few minutes on the computer so he can watch some videos about remote control airplanes.  He is now standing right next to me talking non stop about a B30.  His description is complete with hand gestures and sound effects.  I am guessing that this is one he has designed in his mind.  "Now let me talk a bit about the B60.  The B60 is a propeller jet too.  It is made for fantastical flights but this one is kind of weird.  It does have wings but it looks very interesting.  I bet your wondering why it looks very interesting.  Well the answer is that its made out of a long wooden body and it is part plane part airship..."  I can't keep up.  He isn't slowing down and is describing the body of the plane right now in greater detail and why it is designed the way it is.  He just said you unlock the locks and the plane is flying - vammmmmmm.  "Don't add that vammmmmm in there".  I guess he figured out that I was transcribing what he was saying.    "And now let me tell you about the AVRO 100..."  Apparently the AVRO 100 is a touring airship with 6 diesel engines and can show you all over America.  He is already on to something else that he says is called The Six.  The Six is comparable to the Hindenburg, just bigger, faster and has jet engines.  "Have you ever heard of an airship that has a nose?  Well this one does..."  Yep, all I need to do is sit and talk, or just listen to the kids for a while.  Jack just paused for a voice break he told me.  Had to let his voice calm down but now he is ready to continue.  I will be in trouble when he starts asking me questions about these things.  I won't remember all the details but he does.  He just asked me what I was typing so I told him.  He smiled at me and told me to proceed.  Well, there you have it.  I started out with nothing to say, thinking the day was a bit boring.  All I needed to do was sit and listen to Jack for a bit, there is nothing boring in his life.  His mind is filled with details and descriptions of airplanes, airships, trains and anything else that can be remotely controlled.   Thanks for the interesting chat big Jack.
