Mt. Pleasant Classical Academy

Every once in a great while a child surprises his mom, and just that happened today.

It is spring break here so ScienceKid and his Science Olympics partner worked all morning on their Mission Possible event. This build event uses sixteen simple machines, in series to accomplish the task of unrolling an exact length of toilet paper. They are working hard on making the device reliable and sturdy so that it will not fall apart on the way to U of IN.

ScienceKid asked for a blue string; but then it was too weak. I offered to chain it into a thicker string, and came back shortly with the chain for their inspection.

Upon inspection ScienceKid exclaimed to his fellow teenage friend, “Isn’t my mom the greatest!”

Oh my!! So sweet, so sincere. This from a child who does not want to show any affection to his mom handing me the biggest compliment ever. Yep, this one is a keeper.
