It's pretty cool to watch your children grow into being people, not 'just kids.' The comment we most frequently get about Reed in our admittedly limited interactions with his middle school teachers is "he's a funny kid." Now of course we (mostly) think he's funny too, but it's interesting to hear that from other people. They say he has a 'dry' sense of humor (his very appropriate response: "As opposed to a wet sense of humor?").
He also seems to enjoy pulling people's legs...well, mainly his sister is who he can get away with that on. As we rode home from the airport in the taxi a couple of weeks ago, Reed, Amy and me squashed in the back seat, Amy asked how long until we were home. Reed, who could see the driver's computer screen, including route information and ride durations, looked around as if surveying our location and said "I'd say about 12 minutes." Amy was like 'what?' – surprised at his specificity. He played along with it until I busted him for seeing the driver's route info.
