Enjoy that age! ... sounds like a lawyer or a doctor... no creative mess
genes!  My boys are 8, 13 and 16. Just wait... when they get to be teenagers
you have to use creative discipline... 'cause try as you might, you just
can't pick them up and carry them to their rooms! :-)  At least not the
200lb 16 year old!  Pernickety genes... from your description of your film
