Driving & Discussing Our Summer Reads

We were driving in the car discussing the books we're reading and mine is a Civil War one and I was telling the boys how amazed I was on the North baking and shipping 60,000 loaves of bread to the battlefields every day back than and one of them chirps back "and it's just as amazing how your high tech kitchen can't even bake one loaf!" Than Ryan begins telling us about an old book of Ty's he's reading about Tim Tebow and how his family is just like ours and that they pray together and read scriptures together and go to church and he's telling us all these things Tim has done growing up and what a great guy he seems to be and Ty says, "That's because he knows that football is just a game Ryan. He knows the real meaning of life, why we are here and the end game! he knows what we should be doing. Read on little brother. It's an awesome book!" And than Ty begins telling us about this outbreak of Anthrax in Russia back in 1979 when a lab had an explosion that released the anthrax spores because they were doing some illegal experiments totally violating the international weapons treaty and Frank Dux (he's one of Ty's favorite spy's and he is currently reading The Secret Man, he's read all the sniper autobiographies that were on his list this summer and has moved on to Spy's/CIA peeps) and that the government hid everything from the people of what had happened even though almost 100 were killed and thousands sickened and all livestock destroyed within 50 km and the people didn't find out until years later!!! A technician at the lab disappeared following the explosion and also a supply of the anthrax. The Russians were hoping he was one of our spies but he wasn't and we had just killed one of their KGB agents and captured another and so kept it quiet in America to not embarrass the Soviets and return the body and other KGB guy in return for our guy to help the KGB find the technician with the Anthrax!" And than he stops and I'm like AND?!!!! Ty's like Mom, that's where I stopped!!! I'm like well you need to hurry and read and tell me what happens! He laughs and says, "Mom, it was in 1979, before I was even born!!! But I think they will go to Syria...."  I think he has the more exciting book!!! Lol
