Default I'm so proud of my 10-year-old daughter

My older daughter has a weekly assignment in her 5th Grade Social Studies class to cut out an article from our local rag covering a "current event" and to make a short presentation on the current event to her class. Her classmates usually choose articles about natural disasters, political events, etc. Without any prompting or encouragement from me, she chose the Super Derby as her "current event" this week. I was beaming with pride when she told me, and thinking back to how I developed a passion for this sport, I realized that it has to be in the bloodlines.
