Wisdom from Ron's Seven-Year-Old Son
I think it's a very funny clock. I think it's tricky to tell time. I think it's curvy.
What happens if every hour it makes the house go into outer space?
[Daddy notes that he's really excited about the clock in the previous entry, but knows that Mommy would think it's a waste of money. Daddy actually does have a backwards clock in the office.]

Elementary Pranks
My wife and I were watching TV last night. I decided to get a glass of water and put some ice cubes in it. As I was drinking the water, I noticed it tasted funny. Then I saw something floating in the water. What was the stuff? Onion!
My seven-year-old had put onion in the ice tray (Monday, when my wife was making dinner and needed onion as an ingredient for something), filled it with water, and put it in the freezer. So when I got the ice, it slowly melted and released onion. He did admit to having pulled this as an April Fool's prank yesterday. I told him that it could have backfired if he got a glass of juice and put ice in it. He could have had "onion grape juice" or something like that. We can only just imagine the funny story he gets to tell his friends in school today!
As that Annals of Improbable Research always tells us, "Children are naturally good scientists. Help them stay that way."
You all can stop laughing now!

Elementary Thoughts VII
What inspires me to blog, as interpreted by my six-year-old son
The second it turns into snow, and then it rains and the snow turns right back to rain. And then the fence fell in that storm and then we got a 40 feet snow storm. Then the rain we got all these floods.
Things that bother me:
When I am making something and someone is pushing me.
