Thanks, Adam and Jamie

Posted on | April 20, 2009 | 5 Comments

Clearly, the kids have seen many (too many?) episodes of Mythbusters.

J, staring at our recent purchase: “Mom, what are we going to do with the pineapple? Will you cut it up and turn it into ballistics gel? Adam and Jamie did that on Mythbusters…they went to a, um, a bone store and got bones and they made it all into a test dummy. Can we make our own test dummy?”

And my oldest:

“Mom, can we get C4?”

“No.”

“Mom, can we get a rifle?”

“No.”

“Mom, can we get a shot gun?”

“No.”

“Mom, can we just get that thing at Hobby Lobby to make a Coke and Mentos fountain?”

Do you think I caved? No.

Note: I really have to admit, at this point, that this is a by-product of our homeschooling. We are at a point in US history when boys were taught things like how to whittle, how to respect and use guns and things like how to set up a self-sustaining farm (those pioneers were green before it was hip). I guess it can’t be helped. I have yet to knit them ‘coon skin caps. My bad.
