Fly On Our Wall

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a fly on a wall in someone's home?
Me neither. haha. ok. That's a total lie! I am extremely nosey and whether Daddy J will admit it or not, so is he!

I think I will start a series of blogs called "Fly On Our Wall"
So, if you were a fly on a wall in our home, these are some things you might hear. Beware, this first one is a doosey. And come to think of it, since Daddy J is an engineer (and I am very scientific minded as well), you might actually learn a lot through this series :)
Or, you might take up the practice of eye-rolling. See below...

Setting: we're all laying on the living room floor; Baby J is playing with different shaped blocks and small balls, paying no attention to daddy;  Daddy J has a toy hammer, a rectangle block, and a small ball; Daddy J is using the hammer to hit the block [which Mommy J is holding stationary (*i hope this doesn't make me an enabler*)] to make the ball move

Mommy J: "You are going to get him into trouble. He is going to go to kindergarten teaching all the other kids these tricks."

Daddy J: "Good. It's simple physics. He can teach them Transfer of Momentum. When the stationary block is hit with the hammer, the momentum travels through the block to the ball and makes the ball move."

Mommy J commences her frequent practice of eye rolling.

So, if your 1st or 2nd grader needs help with simple physics or simple calculus for that matter, send them to Baby J :)
These are some examples of Transfer of Momentum. Hope you learned something today :)

Hahahaha! Love it! If you can give Eli some physics and calc. classes, we'll give Baby J classes in biology, anatomy and physiology, and agriculture. We can trade off! Keep your "fly on the walls" coming! PS, we're nosy too :)

That is really funny. And very very cute. We'll take those physics lessons too. We can offer some psychology and business management stuff around these parts. This is a cute idea fo a post series. I'm so glad you are blogging now. :-)
