Yesterday's Impromptu Science Discussions

Jacob's:
Me: Jake, take this diaper outside to the trash can.
Dan: Mom, can we just put it in the kitchen trash?
Jake: No Dan, it's bigger outside so it doesn't smell bad.
Me: That's right Jake! Dilution IS the solution to pollution!

Dan's:
Dan: Mom, what's in my heart?
Me: It's a big muscle.
Dan: But what's IN it?
Me: Blood.
Dan: But what's in blood?
Me: Cells and water.
Dan: What's in water?
Me: Molecules.
Dan: But what's in mol-culs?
Me: Atoms.
Dan: But what's in atoms?
Me: Subatomic particles.
Dan: But what's in subatomic part-culs?
Me: Quarks.
Dan: But what's in quarks?
Me: I don't know.
Dan: Oh, okay. Can I have some Goldfish crackers?
