Max Brennan was never a patient man… until he had kids. Now as he sat in the car in the middle of down town DC with a car load full of first graders he was thankful to have the experience necessary to put up with all of them. Ainge and Tempe were chatting about this and that. Jack was filling Booth in on one of the finer points of his latest conspiracy theory and Zach was helping Russ with his summer math assignment.
"Look its really simple just when you have multiple variables in an equation you always state the values of the variables in relationship to the second. To ensure they product is correct." Zach looked up at Russ' face and burst out laughing. The boy looked like he had been abducted by aliens, had dinner with big foot and gone for a swim with the loch ness monster all in one night.
"Umm, yeah so could you try to explain that again?" Russ asked trying to arrange his face to look a bit less horribly confused.
"Its simple really its called "The Famous Bongiovanni Theorem © (1)" and it just says that when you have more than one thing you are trying to find the number of you have to think of everything in terms of the second thing just to be consistent."
"OK, I understand that but why the second why not the third or first?" From there to everyone's amazement Russ began debating with Zach trying to prove his theory correct. Though it was Zach who eventually won Russ held his own.
Mr. Brennan smiled and laughed. "Russ that boy is starting to rub off on you."
Russ laughed too and answered "I know. I like it." Soon after that the kids began to drift off to sleep until only booth was left awake. He was still thinking over the seasick issue and was trying to think of some way to resolve it. He looked around and figured it was safe to ask so he looked up and said,
"Mr. Brennan?" Max looked in the mirror and answered "Yes Seeley?"
"Umm," Booth stuttered. He looked around making sure that everyone else was really asleep. "Do you know anything about seasickness?"
"Yes actually I know quite a bit about it. I used to get seasick myself. It's caused by your body not physically moving but your brain see's the water moving around you and knows you are actually moving. This imbalance can cause you to feel nauseous hence seasick."
"Well thanks Mr. Brennan but do you know anything about how to cure it?"
"Ginger ale (2). The old-fashioned kind with real ginger. I always keep a crate of it down here just in case something like this were to happen. Just take a can or two with you on the boat. You'll be fine.
"I…" Booth trailed off "Thanks. How did you find that out?"
"Well when Tempe and Russ were little they both got seasick really bad so I read up on it and a lot of websites suggested ginger or ginger ale so I started giving them a can before we went out and they were fine. Tempe doesn't even remember it. She just thinks it's a treat before the boat ride." Mr. Brennan shrugged.
"Wow that's neat. But Mr. Brennan could you please not mention this talk to Tempe?" Booth asked.
"Sure. My lips are sealed."
"Thanks."

Well finally I got another chapter I think only 3 or 4 more on this one then I have to get some others moving. As always please R/R Reviews are greatly appreciated.
I have 2 things to explain.
The famous Bongiovanni theorem is a real mathematical concept but the name is just from one of my math teachers who explained it in a way students can finally understand.
Ginger is a real cure for seasickness in case anyone was wondering. It's totally natural and has no side effects that the medications have.
