Too much TV?

I was doing some mending yesterday & Jacob wanted to learn to sew. I was reinforcing the handles on all the canvas bags we owned. So I did one to show him how to use the machine and Jacob did all the rest by himself. His lines, although in a zig zag stitch were very straight and he said he really enjoyed doing it. I am thrilled by this because sewing ranks right up there with ironing as far as I'm concerned.

When he had had completed one bag successfully, I told him, "it just doesn't get better than this." About a minute later he said,"It just got better, Mom." I thought he had finished his bag, so I asked him why. His answer....

"I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico."
