I know you were joking and appreciate the humor.  It lightens the day.  

The kid is homeschooled and reads at a 5th grade level now.  Early on,
public/traditional schooling didn't sit too well with him.  Teachers told
him to shut up and labeled him ADD and stupid.  He's not.  He just saw
everything in a different way.  He's too smart for his own good sometimes.

He likes to sing an entire book he is reading to songs/tunes as he reads
each word....paragraph after paragraph and chapter after chapter.  He'll add
harmonica to that sometimes.  Music is his life.  I had to buy his sister
earplugs in bulk in order to have peace in our household!

I was making a pun. Since his name is Josh, I just couldn't resist. I  
DID notice that he has very advanced wording for such a young man.  
Kinda reminds me of our late son Chuck (who went on to a masters in  
Chem Eng. I think you have a smart boy there. Nurture it.
