My husband and I were having a video conference with my son who is away at college. I asked for him to show his room, since I hadn't seen it. We commented that we didn't see anything on the walls and that he needed something on the walls. His reply was "What? like the Mandelbrot set?" I love my son, but he definitely isn't a typical teen.

FYI, he got math student of the year at a local community college for taking classes during highschool, so he is really good at math and really enjoys it. He also once had to do a group project in one of his math classes (calculus?). He came home and told me, "I just found out most people aren't as into math as I am." He is the ultimate logical guy. He views everything through math and logic. He understands things that most people don't, but has trouble with figures of speech that a 5 year old understands and he gets confused when people use bad grammar just like a computer given bad syntax. He is studying computer programming with a double major in math which is a perfect fit.
