| | The other day (well really every day) my seven year old was jumping around and talking really fast. During this particular string of comments and questions I picked out, "Why are we all stuck to the ground?" He had been jumping around to break free, I guess.
I began to explain to him about gravity but my answer was boring and hinted on educational so he interrupted me and blurted out his conclusion that "we are all robots and there is a big magnet in the center of the earth pulling us to it." I thought that sounded pretty good so we left it at that. We are all robots.
The next day while walking around at JCPennys he asked if the magnet was in the hot lava.
Today is Sunday and while I was typing the above text my seven year old came up to me and asked if I could help him with his school work. I almost informed him that "today isn't a school day" but I stopped myself.
I don't know about you guys but my kids have a way of whining "YOU PROMISED" when there's something I said I MIGHT do and I don't feel like doing it. So I told my son, "Sure, I PROMISE to help you with your school work TODAY!"
Then I added, "Today isn't a school day but I PROMISED!"
