Mythbusters
My kids love to watch Mythbusters. In this program all sorts of myths about technology and science are tested and proved wrong or right. We love it when some great inventions turn out to be absolutely rubbish when made and tested. Or when seemingly rubbish ideas turn out to work great! There are always some common thoughts that prove to be absolutely false. For example, a car will never explode when it is hit by bullets, whatever you may have seen in movies or the A-team, it is definitely impossible. However, a car will explode when shot through the gas tank with tracer rounds though. Other very interesting facts: Christmas trees cannot catch fire because of an overload of lamps and a person cannot be blown away when hit by a bullet.
I’m not sure if my kids subconsciously are inspired by this program, but they have for sure been testing a few myths as well! A few nights ago, the boys decided that they wanted to sleep in our big bed, on top of tons of pillows. I was looking for my nail clipper and remembered that it was still under my pillow, the one on the bottom. Well, why not test their royal blood as well, I thought. But as you can see, nothing happened…
Today, the kids found 4 little frogs in the garden. They played with them, tried to train them, cuddled them and of course, kissed them! I was surprised how tame they actually are. They really seemed to enjoy it quite a bit as well. The fun came to a tragic end though. At a certain point Michelle walked in sobbing because she had lost the frog. She had dug a hole in the sandpit and buried him alive. I tried to rescue him, but was not able to dig our little green friend up. Poor thing… But guess what, Gerco just saw him happily jumping around in the garage. Michelle is going to be so excited tomorrow!
Anyway, Aaron and Julian are not princes and the frogs didn’t turn into one either. So either I’m am scientifically wrong or these myths are busted. Or maybe my snobbish assumptions of having at least a little drop of blue blood are wrong, so it never would have worked anyway.
But we will have one more go. This is what I found on the side of our house later in the afternoon.
Fortunately Jack and the Beanstalk have nothing to do with kings and queens. Now what if Julian walks in with a chicken tomorrow morning, that should be a sign, don’t you think?

Eh…..die bonenstaak lijkt sprekend op de steel van onze voormalige zonnebloem. Volgens mij zie je op de foto zelfs nog de tanden van Spike er in staan, die er mee aan de haal ging.
Hahaha! Dat dacht ik al…:)
