It is interesting what kids perceive. Tonight James was reading about the Blackbird SR71 (an army plane). He asked how it was that the metal can expand and get harder with each flight. I said I didn’t know – but dad might know how that works.
“Why don’t you know, mom?”
“Because I’m not a scientist.”
“But you know how to be on the computer.”
I smiled and answered, “Just because I know how to use a computer doesn’t mean that I’m a scientist.”
“Really? But don’t you want to find out?”
“Not really, not right now. I’m putting clothes away.”
Perhaps another day I can google why it is that the metal expands and strengthens on the Blackbird SR71.
Anyone else know why?
But it was interesting that James thought I was a scientist because I knew how to do some computer stuff!
