Today my kids tied heavy objects to the ceiling fan with yarn. My oldest wanted to know if an object that was a-little-bit heavy would fly off farther than an object that was a-little-bit-heavier. I realize that it is normal for kids to want to do this. What I found interesting is the fact that I was helping them track down yarn and when things went flying I didn’t bat an eye.

That is normal for my house. It’s an everyday happening and has become routine enough that I am starting to participate and find new things for him to experiment with.

By the way, if anyone knows of a recipe to make homemade volcano models explode in a Plinian fashion rather than the basic dribble out of the top, feel free to let me know. We’re really anxious to make something explode.
