<p>I was under the impression that he would go in for hard sciences.</p>

<p>Thank you. He's always loved math. We used to make sure he ate up his food by posing math problems over meals while I shoveled food into his mouth. He's loved string theory ever since 6th grade. So it's been in the cards that he would do math/physics.</p>

<p>Math problems and shoveling food in mouth :) hahahahahah that is what provided nutrtion to my kids also when they were young. Few posters are like you who are insightful and friendly.</p>
<p>Yea, Marite and S! A happy holiday season for your family!</p>
<p>What a wonderful treat for the holiday season! You must be so pleased! Congrats to the whole family...</p>
<p>Marite:
Hmm... math problems while eating. Since he became hooked on string theory, I assume you served a lot of spaghetti :-) .</p>
<p>Optimizerdad:</p>
<p>LOL. Actually, spaghetti is not great for shoveling. ;)</p>
<p>Send a lot of string cheese for snacks with him when he goes off to Harvard next fall :)</p>
<p>hmmm shoveled food into his mouth... string (bean) theory..</p>
<p>Anybody else read it as "it's been in the carbs that he would do math/physics?" I had to read it twice!! :)</p>
<p>NJRes, I can see where your son gets his sense of humor! (the one who made the joke about the acceptance email from Columbia).</p>
