Pedantic note: "Now I am become {Death/Time}, the destroyer of worlds", is spoken by Krishna (an avatar of Vishnu) in the Bhagavad-Gita, not by Shiva. (Most translations seem to give "time".)

See, that is what's impressive: stamina. I broke stuff when I was that age, but I couldn't sustain that kind of intensity.

I have to say, my misreading "Destroyer of words" makes you sound like a bad dad.

I'm just impressed by the great hand writing for a kid his age. :-)
