It made me insane as a kid. I'd go running off to my grandmother's library and start yanking books off the shelves and furiously trying to find something interesting to memorize. It never failed tho - 5 minutes after I went running to him to say "Guess what I learned Papa....." he would ask me again. "Well waddaya know kid?" and i would repeat proudly what I had memorized, and he would say "You still thinking about that? Go learn something NEW!"

Made for interesting summers. I spent mine in my grandmother's library, my sister would only get asked what she knew once and would play outside all day to avoid Papa and that question. He still does it to me today, but I'm a little better prepared when he asks. lol
