Fish

Today we took our children to the fish hatchery. Our son caught two fish which he decided needed to be brought home and used for fertilizer in the backyard. After the ride home of singing songs to the fish and declaring, "I'm touching a real fish!" We arrived home. As we pulled into the driveway our son said, "Fish we have arrived home! No longer will you suffer the indignity of death!"

I am not sure what is saving the already dead fish from the indignity of death, is it that their heads are chopped off, or that they are going to be chopped up further and used as fertilizer in the flower beds. Things to ponder.........

Black Hole

Today my sweet son came into my bedroom sobbing. He was almost uncontrollable. He told me he was so worried that there would be a black hole near our planet and that the gravitational pull would be so great that it would rip all his arms and legs off and suck it into the black hole. POOR KID!! The things you have to worry about when you are a genius! Most of us worry about money or raising our kids or friends........not if a black hole's gravitational pull is going to rip our appendages off.
