On the way home from school today while listening to NPR's "Science Friday:"
Me: Canyon, did you know that they're talking about science.
Canyon: (who currently wants to be a scientist who studies Antarctica) What's science?
Me: It's what scientists study.
Alice: Mommy, that's potty talk.
Me: (as if I, myself, am 2 1/2) No it's not.
Canyon: Oh.

That's a beautiful story. Alice is right, you know.
Can you blame Alice? She's been traumatized. Of course everything relates to "potty" talk.
Funny. I sure like that Alice.
Alice IS right. I hate Science Friday. Why don't they have Library Science Friday? I think I'd even prefer Medieval Persian Poetry Friday to Science Friday. Bad memories. Find a happy place...
aaaaah. Thanks for the laugh.
That WAS very definitive of you -- "science is what scientists study". hmmm. Brilliant.
