This is the most beautiful, perfect list of "advice to my not-yet-born child" I've ever read. Even the part about picas. (Although I would recommend learning metric conversions instead... more widespread practicle usage).
so himmer is free to believe what his aunt and uncles say about you? sweet. :)
I like to think that himmer will be smart enough to know that his aunts and uncles are full of it. So I wasn't planning on teaching himmer that - it should come naturally. :-P
Grandfathers have a natural charisma which can cloud the mind of young child. Hence the advance warning.
And for the record, by "natural charisma" I mean bribes involving candy, toys and cash.
