Chatty learner.

For some reason this morning my older son is especially chatty. He is working on school work on the computer next to me and hasn't stopped talking since sitting down. He has asked me a constant barrage of questions about everything from term life insurance rates online to my thoughts on the Cold War. You can tell that he is basically talking about whatever is popping up on the computer screen in front of him. He is supposed to be working on his history lesson and researching various topics. I am speculating that there are advertisements on his screen for insurance and that these are distracting him. In between asking me about these subject he is telling about how he is going to build a time machine and go back in time and lock Hitler and the Nazis in a jail forever. I love his enthusiasm for learning but it sometimes makes it very hard to get any work done when I am in the vicinity. I really need to figure out how to block advertisements on his computer because it might keep him a little more focused.
