Not exactly science

"Mommy," my daughter asked, "can I do science outside?"

Of course. This is why we homeschool.

While Abby packed up her science book and workbook, Jacob rounded the corner with a question of his own.

"Mommy," he asked, "can I do science outside with Abby?"

Well, sure, I told him. Except that you don't do science. You're three years old.

"I'm just going to do science outside with Abby," he explained. "But not with a science book. I'm just going to color my Clifford book instead."

Okay. But you're only going to get partial credit for that.
