I just posted to this blog. But since the blog postings are highly dictated by the behavior of my boys, I am now posting again.
I put my computer away for the night and started making dinner for Michael, who leaves for swim practice soon. While I was cleaning up the dinner mess and watching the boys eat, I asked Michael if he had any project ideas for the upcoming science fair.
The conversation went like this:
Mom: “Do you have any idea what you’re going to do for the science fair?”
Michael: “Well, no… since you can’t hurt your brother.”
Mom: Turns from the kitchen sink to hear him better, because he did NOT say what she thought he just said. “What!?”
Michael: “The teacher said that you can’t hurt your little brother doing your project, so I don’t know what I want to do now. I was going to do an experiment.”
Mom: *cringing* “What experiment were you doing to do?”
Michael: “I was going to see what electrical shock hurt him the most. I wasn’t going to hurt him real bad.”
Mom: “You wouldn’t like it if I did an experiment to see what electrical shock hurt you the most, would you?”
Michael: “Well, no…”
Mom: “Can you think of another project to do for the science fair?”
Michael: “Well, no. I mean, If I thought about it I probably could.”
Please, please tell me that someone has a similar story…
*I should probably mention that Michael refuses to hurt insects that are in our house. So no, I am not worried that he is serious about hurting anyone, but he is probably curious about electric shocks because of the electricity kit he has been playing with lately.*

At least he is honest. I am surprised you have not gotten a call from the teacher though.
ROFL! No similar stories here. But I thoroughly enjoyed yours. :)

Oh that is hysterical! My kiddos aren’t to that stage yet, but I’m sure they’ll be there before I know it!

Oh no! That would certainly give me pause as well–HAHA! I’m sure y’all will figure something out for his project–without his little brother’s involvement. His teacher’s joke made an impression for sure. :)

Hysterical. Electric shock. Experiment. I’m dying. :)

Yikes! Good thing his teacher had the forethought to mention the “no pain” rule!
Oh man…I would have laughed out loud! I think I did something like that when I did my last science fair. It is funny!

Since I am Michael’s teacher at the moment :) …having 2 children of my own who would love to experiment on torturing each other…that is hysterical!!! Here is how I look at it…we are asking the students to be original and creative! You have to give Michael that!
