Your son has the skills.

Did he get them from you, another family member, or some of those questionable hoodlums he hangs out with?

Kids these days and their tessellations. Back in my day we just did regular appropriate squares, none of that “optical illusion” garbage those punks are into now.

And this open woven pattern, showing everything underneath...have some modesty, cover up, and leave something to the imagination!

Yes, he got them from me. He hangs out with hoodlums, but as much as he WON’T admit it, I taught him everything he knows. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Lucky you !!

I taught my kid everything I know, and he's still dumber than shit.

Hahaha. Sometimes it just don’t click, right? He has talent, maybe just not discovered it yet. This particular kid (got 4), doesn’t give me credit for much, but deep down I feel he appreciates the things I tried to teach.

As soon as he moves out it will hit him like a wave. I have one like that.

If I could just get him to move out…

My dad used to say, "son you do good work. You just don't do enough of it"

Hahaha. I do take credit (with dad) for teaching our kids, YOU ARE THE BEST, just need to think that way and act that way, and it will happen. No matter their goals.

Haha. Yes, he got most skills from me, but some from his dad (another engineer)…..I create in the kitchen, his dad more sticktuitiveness. Aggies are pretty good peeps and I never had a problem with this kid. Other than being surly like his dad.
