"Mom! I need help with this!"

1 minute later...

"During the en route phase of an IFR flight, ATC advises..."

1 minute later...

"Which range facility assoc-"
The phone rings.

I feel like I may never be able to take this written exam for my IFR rating.

*It's common for neighborhood kids to hang out at our house and/or tag-along to nearby playgrounds. We've had as many as 8 kids- 6 visiting neighbor kids.
