Well, it finally happened. I have always read stories about homeschool families who do science experiments in the kitchen and end up blowing up the house! Well, we didn't blow up the house. And nobody got hurt (not really). But we had a moment we won't soon forget!
Jacob and Ryan were taking apart an old camera with screwdrivers. Aren't boys just fascinated with how things work? Anyway, they got it almost all the way apart when Jacob started to jump and wiggle and jiggle and bounce all over the room - we didn't know why he was howling, and then he stopped to explain that he had been "shocked" by something electrical in the camera that sent tingles all the way down his left leg! Was that enough to stop him? No, he had to go back and find out WHY he had been shocked... so he proceeds to fish around with a screwdriver (this time he had a towel wrapped around his hand) and made a huge spark - when it went off it sounded like a gun had gone off!
Amidst the laughter, I was grateful that this was hopefully the closest we would come to blowing up the house!! haha
We put the camera away for DAD to finish with them...
Love your curiousity boys - never stop learning and experimenting!
