My Nephew Is Smarter Than Your Nephew

Here's my handsome nephew Karl. Let me just give you an example of how smart this kid is. When Karl was 9-years-old I asked him how he liked school (imagine me asking him in my "you're still a little baby" voice), when he tells me that he's studying the Egyptian language . . . and I'm sure he went on, but I didn't understand him because it was too advanced for me.

He participated in his science fair at school in Utah and won best in show! Now he gets to go to districts (whatever that means, but it sounds important)! Congratulations Karl!

Here is my sister's description of his project:

"Karl participated in a school-wide science fair. His project was to program a decision-making program on the computer. His Grandpa Southwick made up the program years ago, but it needed updating for today's technology. Karl has been studying computer languages and took on the project. He had to test it out on people to see if they were more confident with their decisions after using the program. Overall they were. At the school he won best in show--the only thing they awarded! He now advances to districts."
