Life: Boy Wonder

Reed started his first science experiment today. I guess having just turned four, he’s ready to start working on that Nobel. We have five cups of water, each with a white daisy in it. Four of the cups have different food colorings mixed into the water: blue, red, green and orange. The fifth is our control. Granted, he got the idea for the experiment from the back of a book he was reading, but then, how many four-year-olds are reading books and interested in doing experiments to demonstrate how plants transport water? I’m a jaded sack of shit, and even I think it’s cool to see the flower petals change colors.
