Science Experiments

Tonight, at the end of my son's TKD class, I hear him talking to the instructor about something he had flushed down the toilet. So I think, do I really want to know? Curiosity won.

Mom "What did you flush down the toilet?"

Instructor "The toilet cardboard thing."

Son "No - it wasn't that....."

Mom "Was it toilet paper?"

Son "...yes...."

Mom "The whole roll at once?"

Son "...no..."

Mom "Did you put some in the toilet and flush it while it was still on the roll?"

Son "umm... yeah"

Instructor laughs.

Son "What!?! It was a science experiement!"

Instructor laughs harder. A student listening also begins to laugh.

Mom "A science experiment?!?"

Son "Yeah, it was a science experiment. It was educational too!"

More laughter from instructor and student.

Mom "So, explain to us how it was a science experiment. Did you have a hypothesis and everything?"

Son "Yup. My hypothesis was that if it worked for Calvin and Hobbs it would work for me."

Mom "And what then was your result?"

Son "It works even better in real life."

Student is now rolling on the floor laughing, instructor continues to laugh and Mom tries really hard not to laugh.

Intro

Umm. So here I am. I've joined the blogging thing. You get to read about My Life As It Is. I suppose I should say some stuff about me?

I'm a 30something Mom and Wife. My husband is my best friend. Our son is my best buddy. He is going into 4th grade. You'll be reading about them.

I'm also a Special Ed Teacher. But I'm really really burned out and am taking a year off. I really have no idea what so ever what I'm going to do. I do need to find something part time. One, so we can eat. Two, because I will go totally stir crazy after summer ends. I've got some ideas/dreams, etc. You'll be hearing about this too.

I love to read. I do kickboxing and ride a bike to attempt to stay in shape. We've recently joined Netflex and have been catching up on lots of movies. Sometimes while sitting on the couch, sometimes while riding the bike.

Well, there's a quick intro. Must go feed the kid and his friends.
