Mad Scientist

I am finding strange little "things" all over the house as Jared works his way through Apologia's General Science. The younger ones have taken to asking, "Can we DRINK from this glass" before drinking from glasses sitting around. ::snort::

This is how WE use celery ::snort:: it sucked up the blue dye in the water

Not sure what THIS is supposed to be doing, but it's been sitting in front of my bedroom window for 2 weeks now...

The old balloon trick (they loved an excuse to have soda in the house)

I have NO CLUE why this was done

This poor plant....it was put under glass and THEN Jared read in Josh Harris' book *I Kissed Dating Goodbye* about a man that beat up his trees when they were young to make them grow strong....Jared seemed to think the point was "it worked". I suspect the point was "don't try this at home"....but he DID try it at home....with these results....I tend to think the moral of THIS picture is that we should pamper our young plants until they are big, strong, and mature or they may end up like THIS:

Shallow roots, withered vines, and no fruit....this photo could preach! ::snort::
