I'm walking on sunshine

Reasons why you should not teach children science, part I.

Overheard at the weekend:

[Small child wishes to leave current location, which is outdoors.]

"Can we go now ? Please can we go ?"

[Parents do not respond.]
[Small child looks meaningfully at bright sun.]

"Do you want me to get cancer ?"

It's only a matter of time before Bea clocks that one. That said, bateleur and I are such indoor creatures (today excluded - we went to Kew and walked the tree-top path) that it'll be reserved for Granny Jo.

Ooh, a tree-top path sounds exciting. Is it ?

[lathany.livejournal.com]

It was! The views were good (although it was not situated so much for views) and it was interesting to see the tops of trees rather than the bottoms. I suspect it gets pretty long queues at the weekend though (although they have craftily arranged the queue area so that it's shaded for the most part).

They have previously had a temporary tree top path and it was also cool. I suspect a canopy path is more dramatic and I am looking forward to/hoping for one of those at some point.

There's some rather good Planet Earth (and other Attenborough series) canopy work.

I suppose we could just send the kid back to school, at least he'll be indoors, but not happy about it bwhahaha

Me, to smallclanger: Why can't you remember what you had for lunch? It was only three hours ago.
smallclanger: I am only little and I haven't got enough neural pathways in my brain yet.

"Do you want me to get cancer ?"

"Yes. So you can die and we finally get some peace and quiet and our lives back"
