SCIENCE!

November 04, 2010

Overheard, in the back seat of the car this morning:

Ezra: Oh no, rain!

Noah: Not "oh no," Ezra! Rain is great! We need the rain! Without rain, there would be no flowers or trees or grass or pumpkins or bugs or dogs or cats or chickens or houses or buildings or bridges or roads or buses or cars or red lights or yellow lights or green lights or gas stations or restaurants or pizzas or candy or juice or soccer balls or airplanes or trains or cities or pyramids or spaceships or Star Wars or Leapsters or movies or bushes!

Me: Wow. That's a lot of things.

Noah: Without rain, you'd have NOTHING. You would not even have any. Hair. At. All. 

Ezra: Yay rain!

Awesome - just awesome.

Posted by: Jessica V | November 04, 2010 at 02:02 PM

THAT is funny!

Posted by: Dana | November 04, 2010 at 02:04 PM

So I shouldn't be cursing today's weather then? Huzzah for bad hair days!

Posted by: Sprite's Keeper | November 04, 2010 at 02:10 PM

Yay for Mr. Wizard! That's awesome! I wish he could come break some stuff down for my nephew like that!

Posted by: Andrea | November 04, 2010 at 02:25 PM

Awww...and you're going to have another one! Think of the awesome stuff Ezra is going to tell him/her about.

Noah is awesome. So is Ez.

I love kids!

Posted by: Starbuck | November 04, 2010 at 02:29 PM

Your kids are awesome.

No restaurants?! I'm thanking baby Jesus that it's raining here too.

One of my favorite things EVER is listening to my two kids (ages 4 and 2) having a conversation. It's hilarious.

Posted by: PopMommy Pam | November 04, 2010 at 02:36 PM

It works, bitches!

Posted by: Rebecca | November 04, 2010 at 02:38 PM

(Dear Other Readers: There's an awesome t-shirt that says "Science: It Works, Bitches!" I am not calling you or Amy or the kidlets "bitches," just quoting the t-shirt. That is all.)

Posted by: Rebecca | November 04, 2010 at 02:39 PM

No hair at ALL? The horror! This is enough to make me do a rain dance right now.

Posted by: Nothing But Bonfires | November 04, 2010 at 02:50 PM

hunh. That gives me a lot to consider. Also, I will try to prove Noah's argument to my three year old. he may have compelling arguments against rain, though. I'm just warning you.

I love the rambling lists/stories/recollections that kids give. It's like the flow of words from brain to mouth are unstoppable even if they start to get out of breath.

I also enjoy that your boys have taken up educated debates at their young age.

Posted by: Alicia | November 04, 2010 at 03:26 PM

Yes! The next time I hear someone complaining about the rain, I shall refer them to Noah.

Posted by: Sarah | November 04, 2010 at 03:29 PM

Indeed. Yay! Rain!

Posted by: Lisa | November 04, 2010 at 03:39 PM

Rock on little Science buddies.
That is just adorable and I like how Noah teaches Ezra.

Posted by: the bee | November 04, 2010 at 03:54 PM

star wars and hair. viva la rain!

Posted by: tara | November 04, 2010 at 03:58 PM

I knew G-d wasn't the only one I should be thanking for pizza... Turns out, rain had a big part too!

Ya learn something every day.

Take that PDD-NOS! Hah!
I sometimes have to take out our big 'ol binder to be sure they really thought MY kid was non-verbal. MY Kid?

Posted by: Karen | November 04, 2010 at 04:10 PM

Geez I wish I could remove all the useless crap in my brain and just think like a kid. I hope you record them a lot, THAT right there is priceless.

Posted by: Sunny | November 04, 2010 at 04:11 PM

To quote country singer Luke Bryan "rain make corn, corn makes whiskey!!!"

Rain is a good thing :)

Posted by: KTSchoger | November 04, 2010 at 04:17 PM

Ahhh... the genius of a big brother...

Posted by: tracey | November 04, 2010 at 04:20 PM

That is incredibly cute :)

Posted by: Shauna (Fido & Wino) | November 04, 2010 at 04:45 PM

This could turn lots of Moms onto science! Adorable, as always!

Posted by: Barb | November 04, 2010 at 05:39 PM

I love it. To bad my own kids are scared of rain. Living in the desert is so not fair!

Posted by: Alison | November 04, 2010 at 06:40 PM

Awesome Noah!

And I can't think of any other name for the other one than

The Mighty Ez.

Posted by: Plano Mom | November 04, 2010 at 07:06 PM

No hair huh.........Ill never sing the "rain rain go away" song again.

Posted by: Jenny | November 04, 2010 at 07:06 PM

Oh that is so cute!

Posted by: Kristin | November 04, 2010 at 07:12 PM

Well if that is the case than how come people in the desert aren't always bald?

Posted by: kari weber | November 04, 2010 at 07:32 PM

I read the title of the post, and the first sentence, and was delighted to know that I am not the only mother of a small child who belts out 80's songs from the backseat.

"She BWINDED me with SCIIIIIIIENCE, Mama!"

"I don't BEEWEEVE it...dere she gooooes AGAIIIN..."

Posted by: Heather Wolf Turner | November 04, 2010 at 08:16 PM

They blinded me with science! =)

Posted by: Debbie | November 04, 2010 at 08:41 PM

Just when you think Noah cant get any more awsome, he does!

Posted by: WifeMotherMe | November 04, 2010 at 10:07 PM

How smart and cute! And sweet Ezra is learning from his big brother, aw.

Posted by: Kimm | November 04, 2010 at 10:49 PM

Absolutely hilarious!

Posted by: Linda | November 04, 2010 at 11:12 PM

Oh and I sure hope you think about this next time you have a bad hair day!

Posted by: Linda | November 04, 2010 at 11:13 PM

That is the type of conversations that have gone on between my granddaughters, just be aware they are now 9 and 7 and the discussion can get heated as the younger one has began to question the older one's bold statements---enjoy them every day they are little such a short time--

Posted by: Alberta grandma | November 04, 2010 at 11:51 PM

I Love this kind of Science!

Posted by: Hyzymom | November 05, 2010 at 06:43 AM

I don't think anyone should question Noah's knowledge on the "rain" issue. He was the one who built the ark and saved all the animals. Right?

Posted by: Ted | November 05, 2010 at 10:19 AM

That is too hilarious!

Posted by: Marianne | November 05, 2010 at 12:07 PM

oh my goodness... they are the cutest :)

Posted by: judi | November 05, 2010 at 12:53 PM

Maybe it could rain some more on my head? My hair is so lame.

Posted by: Robin | November 05, 2010 at 02:53 PM

Just read your tweet. Squee!

Posted by: Suzy Q | November 05, 2010 at 04:03 PM

That's adorable. Just adorable.

Posted by: kelly | November 05, 2010 at 08:14 PM

Love it, Ezra! We love to go puddle hunting.

Posted by: Alissa | November 06, 2010 at 06:47 PM

Ha! Yay rain indeed!

Posted by: karinya @ unlikely Origins | November 06, 2010 at 10:05 PM

oh the comment about having no hair was hysterical! your kids are so funny.

Posted by: Olga @ MangoTomato | November 07, 2010 at 12:11 AM

What a great way to look at rain! So cute!

Posted by: Barefoot Liz | November 07, 2010 at 03:24 PM

It's a big world he has out there!

Posted by: Guest | November 07, 2010 at 07:58 PM

Woah, thanks Noah! Now I need to figure how to get my husband to stand out in the rain. Without a hat.
