philosophies of a six year old lad

my six year old son has had me in stitches of laughter with a couple of his little wise cracks
it all started when we were watching the newcastle v chelsea footy match
shearer was on the floor when a chelsea player stood on his nuts my son laughed (remember hes only 6) and said dad would he score 2 goals for kicking
those 2 balls i was in stitches this was followed a few moments later by
dad isnt the most important part of rugby football hurting the other players that just cracked me up but then on the way home from school tonight he came out with
dad isnt it good that there was a world war cos if there wasnt we wouldnt have cool games like call of duty and unreal tournament to play would we
so who says games arent good for you and dont help with education lol
:D :D

I take it neither he nor yourself had any philosophies on punctuation?

Harsh!

But fair. :D

i don't think 6 year olds are taught punctuation !! and it was me who typed it out so i guess im to blame then thanks for the tips maybe next time ill think a little harder before sharing my thoughts etc cos i dont like being marked for stuff like that !!!!
sad sad

aww, you've been training him up well :)...

CrapshoT dont worry mate not all of us are so far up are own behinds we have to go out of our way to point out others mistakes.

My six year old asked me why the sky was blue...

So after explaining about the polarisation of light, refarction of light and filtering by different layers of the pure white light provided by the sun, the moisture content and atmosphere thickness etc etc ...... she looked all puzzled and never asked me anything again...










which was nice.

:D

He he!!!! :)
....She'll be saving all the difficult questions up to ask you at the next Hexus BBQ!!! ;)

Talking of hexus bbq's?

when do i next need to buy a train ticket?

aye, whens the next one gonna be guys?

can we come? ;)

That's funny, i never knew why the sky was blue :/

well, its also the same for why water looks blue too...all the other wavelengths of light are absorbed leaving blue!

i thought it was the reflection of the sky?

No, its not. Thats what you tell kids.

Water isn't blue :s

My tap water isn't blue. When i fill up the bath it isn't blue.

It's the reflection of the sky.

Go to blackpool and see how blue the sea is there ;)

Water is blue, but only very slightly, so when its shallow, like in a sink of bath, it seems colourless. But when its deep, like the sea, there's so much you can actually see the blueness. Or maybe its something to do with the fact that it lets most light through, so only a little bit of light gets reflected. Obviously, with the sea, there's a ot more light being reflected.

The amount of Rayleigh scattering that occurs to a beam of light is dependent upon the size of the particles and the wavelength of the light; in particular, the scattering coefficient, and hence the intensity of the scattered light, varies inversely with the fourth power of the wavelength, a relation known as the Rayleigh law.
:D sorry
