first grade

This week, Nathan came home and said that he learned about gases and liquids. I told him that's cool. He then proceeded to explain them to me... you know mom like a balloon has gas in it (right) and water is a liquid (also right) and the wall is like lettuce... what? wait? lettuce - did I just hear him right? so I asked him again and he definitely said lettuce... so holding back the giggles I said to him "Sweetheart... I think you heard your teacher wrong. She was saying the wall is a solid not a salad"... gotta love the association! I had to give him props - it is pretty hard to hear the difference between the words solid & salad! Too funny! :)
