Today, surprisingly, Sage and I had a challenger. At dinnertime, Eliza dared to challenge the incumbents when she announced that she wanted to teach "an experiment" for our Lesson.
"What's your experiment?" I asked Eliza warily (whispering to Mark that the experiment would surely require the use of Ziploc bags--a new favorite thing around here that has been recently rationed to one per kid per week).
"It has to do with water, wheat kernels, and soap!" Eliza announced gleefully.
Mark and I then joined forces to filibuster that motion. It was pretty easy to distract and conquer, since we had chocolate cake on our side, and our four-year-old would-be scientist has the biggest sweet tooth on this side of the Mississippi. And possibly the other side, too.
And I gave the lesson. : )

The old "treat and conquer" tactic comes through again! Nice work. Also such a cute pic of Sage along the border.
One ziploc per week! I love it! You would be good in the depression
Chocolate cake...wins every time. Good work.
"Chocolate Cake: The Key to Diplomacy" (and a yummy one at that)
Ha ha!! But how could you stand the curiosity of not knowing how the wheat, soap, and water come together?! That picture is the funniest.
I would give in for your chocolate cake too!
Perfection!!
