NAAPID in school tomorrow. Each class is studying a "lesser-known" African American person in history for a presentation to the rest of the school. We asked our kindergartner who his class was studying, to which the reply was "all of them"!



(Nation African American Parent Involvement Day)

I asked Thor to pass me a beer from the fridge (well that's why we have them isn't it?). He brought me an apple.

Could be....

Today beest was helping Thor with his science fair project -Metal or Not Metal. It involves testing things with a metal detector. (Well he is still in Kindergarten). So he was preparing a list of things to test and predicting the outcomes. After a few testing sessions, he's getting an idea of what is metal and what isn't, so all of things he was choosing to test were things he thought would be metal (so exciting to hear the "beep"). Beest was making a few non-metal suggestions. They had just shovelled the snow, so one suggestion was sidewalk. Thor did not want to test the sidewalk. Why not? Because some of it is metal and some isn't. Expecting some keen observation about water shut-off access points and the like beest asked "Which parts do you think are metal?" "The robot bits"

....

....


Sidewalks


.....


Cyborgs




He scares me. He's the only one of us who could be the president of the United States. Let's hope he decides he want to be a lumberjack or something.....

Well, there you go!

Reminds me of what my daughter says when she's mad at us:

Well, you're not coming to my birthday party!

She has recently mastered 'the look' whilst brandishing this threat. Oy.

I was describing the finer points of Goa'uld symbiotes in Stargate and how they prolonged life in their hosts. 12yo asks, "Does that mean they keep living until they die?"

Inch: "Do Dinosaurs like to eat mice?"
Foot: "Well, mice weren't around when the dinosaurs were alive. They died a long time ago, before the mice came, so no, the dinosaurs didn't even have mice to eat."
Inch: "Dinosaurs like to eat mice."
Foot: "Yeah, you're right."

i thought that early mammals were around toward the end of the dinosaurs' reign.....like mice an voles

Quote:
In fact, the find more than doubles the age of the oldest known mammal from the island of Madagascar and therefore suggests that mammals lived much earlier than previously thought. What's more, it means some of them even lived during a time when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

So I'm not as smart as a preschooler, let alone a fifth grader?

Right.

Get used to it, it is strictly downhill for the next 20 years minimum. I promise.

They were but they would only come out at night. Dinosaurs were warm-blooded so they might have been out as well, but I don't think they would have bothered them much except for a small snack.
