Helium

A couple weeks ago my oldest son learned about science at Spark Plug's birthday party.  He was helping my wife inflate balloons....


Mario: Why do the balloons float up?
SuperLu: Because they are filled with helium.
Mario: What's helium?
S.L.: It's a gas.
Mario: (smiling) like what comes out of my butt?

In other typical little boy news, he came home recently trying to make farting sounds by cupping his hand in his armpit (and you make a motion like you are trying to do the chicken dance to make the sound).  It took me back to my days as a kid!  Oh the memories!

In lame dad news, I tried to make the above mentioned sound for old times sake and couldn't.  It was a sad day.  Part of the little boy inside of me died that day....

I.B.
