TO and I were delving into a new chapter that’s just started in Science and it was a slightly bumpy roller coaster ride- for me. π€’
See, I know the kids’ tendency to yawn, stretch and curl up into a ball at the mere thought of homework or academics. π΄π΄π΄Been there, done that and I now channelize those skills when confronted with housework. But that’s a different story for a different day.
When TO and I were talking about measurements, we were trying (I was) to discuss why there were differences in the units of measurements for a particular substance. And I mentioned the Mariana Trench (I shouldn’t have)πππ and from there the talk wildly veered to whales, π³π³π³their mass, πππ which whales went where and why and away we went! π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
And asking a child to put a π in something is like trying to curb a force of nature. It is very difficult to do, sustain and even repeat if the occasion calls for it. πββοΈπββοΈ
By the time one of his little friends called to check if he was free to play, I practically pushed him out theπͺ! I was all tuckered out from meter-long fingers and foot-long glasses and kilograms of ocean water being tossed around.
