(Because that is what we grow around here.)

It was Ian's turn to pick a movie.

"Mom, can I watch Star Wars?"

"No, Star Wars is not a kid movie."

"But I can watch some of it it." John edits so they can watch space ships flying and light saber battles.

"Yes. When Daddy is home."

"Is this a kid show?" He holds up our DVD of a Nova special on string theory (No, I can't explain it, and yes, I have seen the DVD. Its complicated)

"If that is what you want."

"Yea! String theory! STRING THEORY! STRING THEORY! STRING THEORY" And he jumps up and down, accompanied by his little brother.

So my preschoolers watched a Nova special explaining math and physics that I can't even understand and were very excited.

I blame their father.

But this, is all my fault

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery right?
