Questions I can't answer...

If crocodiles are related to dinosaurs why didn't they go extinct? 

That one we had to google. 

Can air go through anything?

Like bricks or concrete?

Airplanes space shuttle. Like airtight?

Is music lighter than air? 

Galileo

Indigo girls song Galileo comes on in the car...

M: what's this song called? (She asks this about almost every song that comes on)

Me: Galileo

M: what does Galileo do? 

Me: he was an astronomer. He studied the stars

M. He had a spaceship. 

Me. No. He just had a telescope. 

W: I bet he was alive when they invented cars. 

Me: no, this was way before cars

W: how did they get around

Me: I guess they used horses

M: was Galileo a boy or a girl?

Me: a boy

M. Did Galileo have a cat?

Me. I don't know

W. Do cats really have 9 lives?

Me. No

W. It would be cool if they did. 

(Yes. Cool. What would also be cool is if this conversation was over!)

God and Size and Multiplication

W: Is God the biggest thing in the universe?
Me: I don't know if God has a size.
W: Yeah, because God can be anything he wants to be, like a school bus or a plane. And he knows everything. Like if someone asks God, "what's 1000 times 1000?" he just knows. 

How are stars formed?

Weston drew this on the whiteboard in my office this week. 

His explanation:

You know how your cells are microscopic? When you bleed, your cells go into space and then become stars. First they look like this...then this...then they are a star. (Points to the different stages, shown in red in order)

I'm not certain but I feel like this is just a small glimpse of how we imagine the world. 

Milking a ... ?

Matsy's class learned about Texas this week, complete with a rodeo day on Friday.

They made stick horses...

In the car on the way home....

Mommy: what else did you do for rodeo day?
Matsy: I milked a .... horse.
Weston: Do you mean, you milked a cow?
Matsy: No, I milked a horse.
Weston: Matsy, you don't milk horses. Horses just ... milk themselves.

Hot-speriment

Mommy talking "... On the plus side my experiment in lab worked great."  

Matsy: "I did a speriment with colors." 

Mommy: "oh right, you did an experiment in sunshines. "

(Pause...other talking)

Matsy: I'm doing a hot-speriment. 

Mommy: a hot-speriment?

Matsy: nods yes

Mommy: what is it?

Matsy: (rolls around on the bed)

Mommy: that's your experiment?

Matsy: nods yes

Mommy: what are you testing?

Matsy: I'm doing hot-speriment with eyes and mouth and nose and knees and jeans.
