Nathan,

Every parent should want their child's life to be better than theirs. I'm a Dad, but let's assume that Moms and Dads think alike on this point - that is, they want their kids to live long and have a healthy and happy life. Shouldn't be much argument there.

Statistics show that the two biggest hurdles or blocks to having some kind of life after 18 are dropping out of high school and having a baby before you're 20 years old.

So in this Dad's view, the two biggest arguments are that you're going to be out in the shed working on the old tractor on Friday and Saturday night instead of making her grand baby in lover's lane. The second thing is that old tractor is going to teach you things you don't know -- and leave you wondering and thirsting for more. How are you going to solve those mysteries? Simple, you stay in school and learn more science to understand the how's, why's and wherefore's that make that old tractor work -- and by extension have made every machine since then work. You may never understand how men and woman think, but if you understand how the machines invented by men and women using the principles of the universe work -- no one can every call you ignorant or uneducated. And if any self-important shrink, lawyer or politician who claims to know how the minds of people work ever has his car break down -- you let him walk until he admits ignorance.

As a parent, I'd be proud to to have you out in my shed on any old Saturday night trying to make any old tractor come to life.

If this whole story doesn't fly with your Mom, tell it to your Grand Dad and see if he can't have some affect on you Mom.
