Warning: Science Fairs Dead Ahead

I survived THREE sons and their mutliple Science Fairs/Projects and I still have ONE to go. They should tell you about these things BEFORE you decide to have kids -- Cindy, via Facebook.

DFO: I felt sorry when my son entered the various science fairs through the years. I could offer him no help. My worst subjects in high school/college were science & math. He soldiered on & got a PhD in neuroscience. So I don't think he needed the old man's help. (BTW, I didn't help him all that much in Pinewood Derbys either.)

Question: Were you able to help your kids with their Science Fair projects?
