Today we learned a variety of amazing things.  For example:
  1. Tesla coils are more than just magical lightning spheres, and the kids loved the one Lexi brought in.
  2. If you rub your back on your chair and then walk over and touch the faucet, you will get shocked.  (just one test wasn't enough for the boys; they needed at least ten repetitions to confirm the frying power...)
  3. Thomas' coat might actually be a tesla coil.  (You could literally feel all your arm hair standing straight up when you walked by it.)
  4. And finally, Jace has discovered that his mouth isn't just a mouth.  It's a handy hotdog hole.  And his head?  That's his handy hot dog hole holder.
With that, it's time for today's Genius Chatter:
What a wonderful day to play four square!  It's a very popular game.  We had rotations and share and that was crazy because Lexi brough in this thing (tesla coil).  It's a circle thing where you put your hand on it and it does a beam of light and if you touch someone you get shocked.
