Really! My kids are Scientists.

What a relief. My kids aren't messy or destructive... they are scientists! If you have any question about this new fact, I have proof. In an article written by The American Chemical Society it says, "Scientists ask questions and try to answer them. They experiement to see if their ideas work."

How does this apply to my children do you ask?


Scenario #1

After watching an episode of scooby doo, Max comes to a realization of ghosts. He thinks that there is a ghost in the house and he came for a visit because he needed a drink of water. If he gives the ghost a drink of water than he can go home.

Scenario #2

I walk into the kitchen to find 3 1/2 dozen of eggs smashed all over the floor. Not understanding why on earth they would do this I ask them very upset, "why would you make such a big mess!" Max sheepishly says, "I thought it would make a train track." Maybe he figured since eggs make pancakes, omlets, cookies, etc... it could make a longer track for his train set? He wouldn't know until he tried it.

Scenario #3

Kaitlyn is the artist out of the two. she gets into the fridge, retrievs the butter, and smears it all over the window in her bedroom; in the same incident she colors all over everything with a marker. Maybe for her, she's a baby genius... she's writing secret formulas in code that will unlock the power of cold fusion.

O.K. maybe #3 is a stretch, but still, it's possible she's trying to discover a new idea. They have a question and experiment for their answer. All I know is that I'm hopeful for a benefit out of their curiosity. Maybe they will end up doing great things because they have so many questions and the energy to discover the answers to them!
