Me: So did you have science today? (Milo has had a love/hate relationship with his science class this year, I think due to the fact that he's genuinely interested in science and finds the way it's being taught frustrating.)
Milo: Yes.
Me: How was it?
Milo: It was great!
Me: Really? Why?
Milo: We made an ocean and we dumped a bunch of plastic animals into it, and then we poured oil on top and we had to rescue the animals and see which ones would live and which would die.
Me: And which animal did you get?
Milo: I got a sea turtle.
Me: And what did you do with it?
Milo: I took a paper towel and patted on top of it's shell and inside it's shell, But I couldn't really get inside it's shell because it was plastic and not a real sea turtle.
Me: And did it survive?
Milo: Yes, because I got to it quickly.
Me: So what did you learn from this?
Milo: (thinking) How to cure a fake oil spill?
