You have to take your time with sheldon.

His father,god rest his soul,used to always say to me, "mary,you have to take your time with sheldon."

Sounds like a wise man.

Oh,not so wise.

He once tried to fight a bobcat for some licorice.

So,everybody grab a plate and a pretty place mat that shelly wove.

Has shelly ever freaked out like this before?

Oh,all the time.

I remember one summer when he was 13, he built a small nuclear reactor in the shed and told everybody he was gonna provide free electricity for the whole town.

Well,the only problem was,he had no what you call "fissionable" materials.
