A few months ago Jack's mom and stepdad gave us a box of kids' books from their house to sort through. One thing we found was his "Fun With Architecture" stamp set from the Museum of Modern Art that foreshadowed his career as an architect. How funny!
But wait, there's more. I still have the "Fun With Hieroglphs" stamp set from ...... the Museum of Modern Art that I was given when I was about 10. The path from Hieroglphs to linguistics is pretty clear, although I didn't really understand what linguistics was until I was 19.
Choosing gifts from the MOMA gift shop should be done lightly, now that we have scientific proof of their potency.
What a wonderful gift. Nothing better than a book(I love to read). The Hieroglyphs sounds like fun. At my age
