15 Min Max: The Five Pokemon I’d Like to Eat Lunch With

15-Min-Max-logoIn this episode of 15 Min Max, my 8-year-old decides he’d like to talk about Pokemon during our drive to school. That is, if he can get me to stop pontificating on Philadelphia road rules long enough. So I pitched  Top-5 list: The Top 5 Pokemons he would like to eat lunch with. He did surprisingly well — for such an odd topic. Thank you to everyone who has been passing along kind words and encouragement to my boys.
