Science experiments of a 14 month old

aka "Why God Made Them Cute". She had 8 minutes 23 seconds while I was distracted by the phone to learn as much about refrigerator science as she could. Here's what she managed:
  • Eggs break when dropped on the floor. It is repeatable. She did it 3 times in 3 different spots of the kitchen.
  • Milk puddles on linoleum. But if you walk the 20 steps to the carpet it sinks in.
  • (3 year old scientist helped with this one) You can put 1/2 liter of milk, 2 packages of cheese, one egg carton--now empty, and 4 carrots in the doll's pram.
  • Niblet corn makes a fun mess on the carpet when poured out. Mommy is not amused by the abstract art.
  • Cheese wrapped in plastic should not be bitten before unwrapped.
  • Raw carrots are good.

AAARGGHH! It's a good thing DH and I are going out to dinner with adults tonight sans children. They are not "take to a nice restaurant" presentable today. But I am! And they get their favourite baby-sitter so life is good.

*sigh*
