Trial & Error With A 5 Year Old
Yesterday, we found out what exactly happened in the Blue Sticky Tack Fiasco of 2008 with Ethan. His teacher could hardly form the sentences between the laughs to explain. Ethan took a poster down off the wall and then decided to see if the sticky tack would hold his head to the wall. That is why it was all in his bangs around the forehead.
His rationalization was that if it held up a poster, it might hold his head to the wall. When we asked him about it last night, he acknowledged his experiment and admitted failure.
“Don’t try it though, because my head weighed too much to stick and your head is bigger than mine!”
My name is Emily. I’m 30 years old. I have often been told that I ask a lot of questions, but I think I have more to say than ask.

I love it, what a nut.
That is classic, gotta love his though process–if not the results!
Awesome! You’ll be so glad you recorded this stuff!
Good little scientist. Theory, experiment, result.
lol That is SSSOOOO adorable
Lol. He’s a curious little guy isn’t he? At least he didn’t try it with crazy glue or something worse!
Too funny! I often hear myself asking “what were you thinking?!” lol. what a cutie.
This reminds of when my G stuffed her ears with silly putty right before bed in order to shut out the sounds of distant thunder. She woke with two egg sized gobs of sticky stuff matted into her hair on either side of her head. We had to cut it out. Not a good look on a five year old little girl. Thank God you all can get away with the buzz cut.
Hahahaha! What a creative little man!
What a deep thinking young man. I think you must have a future scientist budding in your family. And heaven knows this United States need em.
Thanks Dorothy from grammology
remember to call gram
Now that’s funny. You got to love how they do experimentations.

Appreciate a visit even if you are not, though.
Only a boy! LOL!
What a funny bunny! Love that the teacher could have such a laugh at it too. Bet he looks cute with his buzz cut.
