  2. kids talk science…

    11 year old children answering questions on their health and science tests…absolutely hilarious!

    * "Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is 
            pure gin. Hydrogin is gin and water."
    
    * "Artificial insemination is when the farmer does it to the
            cow instead of the bull."
    
    * "When you breathe, you inspire. When you do not breathe, you expire."
    
    * "H20 is hot water, and CO2 is cold water."
    
    * "Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, vanes, and caterpillars."
    
    * "Dew is formed on leaves when the sun shines down on
            them and makes them perspire."
    
    * "Mushrooms always grow in damp places and so they
            look like umbrellas."
    
    * "The body consists of three parts - the brainium, the borax and
            the abominable cavity. The brainium contains the brain, the
            borax contains the heart and lungs, and the abominable cavity
            contains the bowels, of which there are five - a, e, i, o and u."
    
    * "Rhubarb: a kind of celery gone bloodshot."
    
    * "Vacuum: A large, empty space where the pope lives."
    
    * "For drowning: climb on top of the person and move up and
            down to make Artificial Perspiration."
    
    * "For Fainting: Rub the person's chest or, if a lady, rub her arm
            above the hand instead. Or put the head between the knees of the
            nearest medical doctor."
    
    * "The alimentary canal is located in the northern part of Indiana."
    
    * "The tides are a fight between the Earth and Moon. All water
            tends towards the moon, because there is no water in the moon,
            and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in
            this fight."
    
    * "Equator: A managerie lion running around the Earth through Africa."
    
    * "Germinate: To become a naturalized German."
    
    * "To prevent contraception: wear a condominium."
    
    * "To keep milk from turning sour: keep it in the cow."

  5. memories. once when i was small, my parents took my brother and i on a road trip to disney world.  my dad was performing in the area for a week and he knew Chip…or maybe Dale, i can’t remember…but anyhow, we got in for free…i loved it. i know i did.  but my most vivid memories from the whole trip weren’t from disney world at all.  they were from this little place we stopped at on the way home.  it was a tiny village completely designed for children!  EVERYTHING WAS MINIATURE! my brother and i drove around in a tiny little car on the tiny two way streets complete with stop signs and traffic lights!  we went through the drive through at a mini mcdonnalds…i had to go inside and put the headset on so my brother could order our plastic chicken mcnuggets. there was a hospital, a school, a bank, and a grocery store with mini grocery carts and check out isles! this place was was a six year old’s heaven and when we left i cried silently in the back seat of the car the whole way home.  my parent’s can’t remember what it’s called or even what town it was in.  my heaven was lost was lost that day and i was forced to find a new one…one a little less miniature.

  6. important things i’ve learned from kids…

    1. It's more fun to color outside the lines.
     
    2. If you're gonna draw on the wall, do it behind the couch.
     
    3. Ask why until you understand.
     
    4. Hang on tight.
     
    5. Even if you've been fishing for 3 hours and haven't gotten
    anything except poison ivy and a sunburn, you're still better off
    than the worm.
     
    6. Make up the rules as you go along.
     
    7. It doesn't matter who started it.
     
    8. Ask for sprinkles.
     
    9. If the horse you're drawing looks more like a dog, make it a dog.
     
    10. Save a place in line for your friends.
     
    11. Sometimes you have to take the test before you've finished
    studying.
     
    12. If you want a kitten, start out asking for a horse.
     
    13. Just keep banging until someone opens the door.
     
    14. Making your bed is a waste of time.
     
    15. There is no good reason why clothes have to match.
     
    16. Even Popeye didn't eat his spinach until he absolutely had to.
     
    17. You work so hard pedaling up the hill that you hate to brake on
    the way down.
     
    18. You can't ask to start over just because you're losing the game.

    ...number 12 is my favorite.
