Today was one of those "Y" days.
Mom.. Y does the cereal follow the magnet?

Mom... Why doesn't the sun burn up? Can Black Holes Disappear? WHY MOM?
This in response to our reading of a page in our science book. Today we started a section on space.
And yes, black holes can disappear. If they stop emitting Hawkins Radiaction they slowly reabsorb. Why the sun doesn't burn up? It expels all the heat that it produces and that's why it doesn't burn up. Oh good mom. Cause if it did burn up everything on earth would freeze wouldn't it?

Mom.. why would they say you can use a pencil to get over a brick? This was in response to a problem posed on Science4Us.com. So we talked a bit about incline planes and how a pencil could go lengthwise up the brick and.. if it was a big enough pencil (and you a small enough person) how you could climb up it.
Mom.. why do you think I like these cookies better now that I can flatten them?
I don't know son, perhaps because it concentrates the taste more and you get less air in them??
Maybe mom, maybe... I know I just LOVE the cookie taste of them. :)

Mom, why was Owen sad about the guinea pigs?
Because the Mom had a hard time having her babies and two of them were dead.
But why would that make him sad mom? Guinea pigs sometimes have that happen!
I know buddy, but they aren't used to that. So it makes them sad still.
Oh. They will get used to it though, right mom? And they can be happy right? They can help feed the hawks through therescue place right mom?

Mom.. why do the squirrels have to wreck our bird feeders? Why can't they just eat out of them nicely like the birds?
ME: I haven't a clue buddy... I think they are just greedy and don't like to take their time. But I don't know... do squirrels have a patience button?? (this of course made an eight year old laugh). :)
I have to admit, I've pretty much given up on my war with the squirrels.. at least until the ground thaws. Then I can move feeders away from window ledges and fences so they can't do these kamikaze keaps onto the feeders. They definitely teach us a lot about patience, ingenuity, and determination though!

My boy and his "why" questions. Certainly makes schooling him SO much easier. :) Means he's engaged and curious and wanting to learn. I love days like this. :)
Should the anchor post (through Ben and Me) get posted this week (I think Marcy is away at convention) I'll link up there at that time. It's not there yet. so patience is a good thing eh? :)
