So Miles and I were sitting there, watching Addie at her swim class. Here is our conversation:
Miles: A solid is something that is hard. A liquid is something squishy.
Me: Oh? What is a coat?
Miles: Solid.
Me: Hot chocolate?
Miles: Liquid.
And so on, for many, many minutes it seemed. Miles got every one right. He loved this game.
Finally, Miles asked: How about air?
Me [smiling]: Ah, air is a gas. You probably haven't gone over that yet in school.
Miles: Smoke?
Me: Another gas.
Miles: A germ?
Complete silence. Then, Me: Uh, I think it's a solid?
Oh please tell me other kids stump their parents too...
