I thought I was going to fall over from laughing so much.
My meds were, for a tiny bit this afternoon, working, which meant I was able to hang with Tristan a little bit who had broken out his Sci-Fi Slime kit he got for his birthday.
I was helping him transfer the slime from a crappy sandwich baggie (the last time he stored the slime this way, well, it didn't end so well) into a Zip-Loc bag.) He was telling me the slime he had made was sensitive to temp and changed color with temp. He was going on and on, using all this terminology that was even WAY over my head, so I listened to him, fascinated, in awe, wondering sometimes what the hell my nine-year-old son was talking about.
We decided to run the bag of slime under hot water to see if it really would change color. It did. We laughed.
He said he wanted the slime to get to 72°, room temp, so he could put his hands on it and watch it change color.
"Yeah," I said, "Because your body temperature will be higher than that!"
"Well, I hope it would be higher, or you've got a serious problem, [pauses] either that, or you're dead."
That kid kills me!
