Last night went for a walk and passed an empty lot with concrete forms so we marveled at how they were made. This morning they were pouring concrete with a pumper hose, kids were suitably impressed.
Today Nick sampled grandma's chocolate, peanut butter and butterscotch chips. He said the butterscotch was too salty.

What would you wear if it was over 100 degrees every day?
bare feet
What if the sand you're walking on is super hot?
sandles. oh.

Learning
It is no secret that we unschool our kids. We will make notes here (as time allows) about what the kids are learning. We (mostly) won't mention names or ages, this is independent of learning. Enjoy.
Cats
Came upstairs and he was laying on his bed, showed me a scratch on his belly.
Lesson learned: Don't hold a cat and turn on a vacuum.
15 various scratches & puncture wounds. Nothing too serious. No blood.
Finance
Curiosity about a having a million dollars (or ten billion dollars).
General concept of letting someone (bank, etc...) hold your money and pay you.
How long would a thousand dollars last? "3 days"
If you invested that and they paid you $30/month and you spent $30/month, how long would that last? "forever"
Him: "What if we purchased burgerville? You & Mom could make fries while us kids took orders?"
Me: "Well, I really wouldn't want to work at a fast food place if I was a billionaire, but that is a kind of investment - having something give you regular money rather than just spent it."
