My son is a genius (or his parents are idiots)

Last weekend, Colin bought a timer for the sprinkler in the front yard. The theory he had was that it would save us the hassle of climbing around behind bushes first thing in the morning or late in the evening. But the darn thing would not work - it would never turn on at the time Colin had programmed it. In fact, it just would not turn on, so we were still climbing behind the bushes with the bugs and the spiderwebs - ick!
So, Tuesday night, Colin decides to send Andrew behind the bushes to press the manual start button on the timer. Andrew was back there a few minutes and Colin was barking directions from the flower bed. Well, the sprinkler turned on then and to our surprise it turned on again 12 hours later and then again later that night and this morning again...Andrew figured out how to program the flippin' thing. We're either complete idiots or he's alot smarter (or lucky) than I have ever given him credit for. Thanks to Andrew, were on our way to greener grass and less hassle behind the bushes!
