The kids have piano right after school on Mondays. On the drive over today Angus was reciting his speech on space (in French) to me and Eve. He talked about black holes, Neil Armstrong, and the constellations (yep, it's a little disjointed -- I figured his teacher would call him on it, but it appears I was wrong). After he was done, this was our conversation.
Me: That's cool, but I thought you were going to talk about spaghettification.
Angus: Oh yeah. I can still put that in.
Eve: What's that?
Me: It's when a person or object is sucked into a black hole, they get pulled into a long skinny shape. It's called spaghettification.
Angus: also, time stops.
Me: Yeah, but if your watch stops you're probably not concerned about it if you're being spaghettified.
Eve: If you're spaghettified do you die?
Me: Pretty much, yeah.
Eve: Then I'm going to put it on my list of Things That Would be Fun if They Didn't Lead to Death.

If only your family lived closer, I could get all my stomach exercises out of the way just by laughing at the crazy things you guys talk about.
What else is on her list?
I am totally making a list about things that would be fun if they didn't lead to death. That is the greatest list ever.
I was going to ask the same question as Magpie. What else would be fun if it didn't kill you? I'm going to guess stuff like riding down waterfalls, but that's how I think, and I'm much more pedestrian than Eve is.
LOL! Eve is such a funny girl! I, too, would be interested to know what else is on her list. Does she have a list of fun things to do that wouldn't lead to a painful and untimely death?
Your kids are wickedly funny and amusing.
ok, give her a Huge Hug from me..and maybe some candy : )
good grief that kid cracks me up! too bad cosby wasn't doign that show anymore!
Your kids are awesome.
I would love to see the rest of that list.
Sounds like some of the conversations that happen around here ;)
