Agree on the wife thing.... I've already figured out that I'll never teach
her to fly. I may be able to help her now and then, but only if she comes
to me with questions seeking explainations, then she's open to listening to
me explain something. She'll do that now with her accounting classes but I
know better than to butt in without her asking.

I'm proud to say that he pays perfect attention, asks serious
questions, and enjoys it.

I agree. I teach my kids things everyday. Right now I"m teaching them
how to properly fire and use their BB rifle. They think its awesome to
learn from dad. I taught my boys baseball, basketball, football, etc.
I'm proud to say they are very good at all now and compete in leagues.
Some people send their kids to day care, etc to teach them things.
Others are very comfortable teaching kids all they need to know
themselves. I honestly don't see any problem teaching them to fly. I'm
offering them a plane and my time for free. If they decided they wanted
someone else to teach them, they'll have to work extra shifts at the
McD's.
No, if it were my wife, it would be a very different story. I still
can't make her understand that there is a middle ground between rolling
through a stop sign and sitting for 30 seconds at the sign. I just
sit quite and think of something else.
