It must be possible to be precise and clumsy. Yes. For instance:
*******WARNING FOR GROSSNESS******** In clinical Microbiology (or hospital Micro) you work with body stuff, like poo, pee, spit, drainage, parts, organ tissue, ya know, gross stuff. Once I had to suck up 1 ml of brown liquid, um, stuff, to put in a test tube, for a test, from a sterile cup, one like you would pee in. I used a pipet to suck up precisely 1 ml of gross stinky brown liquid, um, stuff from the cup, put it in the tube, then spilled the rest of the cup ALL OVER ME!! (we wear protective coats) I had to change into scrubs and throw the rest of my clothes away, though. I do this kind of thing all the time. I am uber clumsy. I was born on a Tuesday, but I am not Tuesday's child, aka FULL OF GRACE. My Mom even used to shake her head and say that all the time: "Good thing I didn't call you Grace, sigh." No lie.
They are learning some great skills. By the time I went to college, I could make scrambled eggs, frozen burritos, and ramen. This will not be the case with my children!
Yes, I have parameters. No, they do not follow them very well. If I want fruit or vegetables served, I pretty much have to do it myself. Maybe someday!
The pizza looks amazing. I'm very impressed by your kids. I had cheez-its for dinner tonight. Sounds like your kids may plan and cook better than I do.
He is getting really good at pizza. He makes the dough and everything and I don't know if he just picked a really good recipe or what, but yum! And he can have it on the table within an hour of starting.
Trust me, if someone sat you down every Monday night and made you pick out what you wanted to make and then went out and BOUGHT you exactly what you need, you'd be an awesome planner, too. Like I said, they are SO SPOILED.
Daniel IS big. Nearly six feet tall now and every bit the teenage geekboy. I love 'im.
That is genius. I wish my mother had done that with us. Maybe then now-me would cook more and find it to be less of an undertaking. I could cook slightly more than just ramen and eggs when I went to college (eh, a couple kinds of pasta and pork chops and roast chicken...), but not much. And grocery shopping was utterly bewildering. Your children ARE spoiled. They have no idea how spoiled. Wait 'til they go off to college and have to do their own grocery shopping....
I am so impressed by Daniel's pizza-making abilities. Pizza terrifies me. Making it myself, that is. (Made by other people? NO PROBLEM, heh.)

(also: kudos to the 14 for keeping his beautiful t-shirt all white and stuff. I would've had it all over pizza sauce :P)
