Our Resident Mad Scientist

This picture was taken of "R" when he stayed for a few weeks at Grandma and Grandpa J's this spring while Grandma was helping out with school. He liked to wear Grandpa's hat which Grandpa ended up giving to him. He looks like an old fashioned newsboy! Here he had just gone out to get the mail for Grandma.

Lately, "R" has been our resident Mad Scientist. We found a very large glass pickle jar filled with water and it had been placed in the garage freezer. He wanted to see if it would indeed expand and break and it INDEED did!:-) We told him we liked his curiosity but that he needed to ask us first.

Second, he was taking awhile in the bathroom and when he left I walked in and saw he had taken all but maybe one clean washcloth out of the closet opened them up and stacked them and then placed them in the sink. He than put water in the soap dispenser and then put water on the many layers of washcloths to see how far down into the stack the water would reach. Nice. Again, curiosity good . . . asking would be better . . . cleaning up after he experiments would be really good.

Third, he came and told me today that his room was going to look like a fairy tale today. Why? Well, because he had taken what he called "phosphorus" which was really the liquid out of a light stick and smeared it on the poles of his bed hoping that at night it would glow away.

It's time for summer and outside activities. Gotta Love "R"!
