OT Amusing conversation with BD6 on the way to school this morning.....
"Mom"
"what Sweety?"
"Why can we see our air when its cold out?"
"Its called breath Sweety"
Her"Ok, why can we see our breath when its cold out?"
Me "Because our breath is warmer than the air outside of us"
Her "Ok, but why can we see it?"
Me"its condensation Sweety and our hot breath starts to turn solid when it hits the cold air"
Her "whats combensayshun?" Me "ask your science teacher"
Her" Hey! look the sun is going down"
Me"no its coming up"
Her "well it looks like its going down"
Me"It cant go down on that side, It comes up in the east and goes down in the west"
Her "well I think it should come up on the other side"
Me" Actually the sun doesnt move at all, the earth does"
Her"where does it move to?"
Me (showing her with my hands) "the sun stays here and the earth turns which makes it look like the sun comes up and goes down"
Her " How come we dont fall off if its turning?"
Me "Gravity"
Her "I dont feel it grabbin me" :?
Me "ask your science teacher" "and have a great day at school today"
Aaahhhhhh
