It's Probably How the Native Americans Discovered Popcorn

I went to my dad and stepmom's today because my step aunt, uncle, and cousins are in town from Portland, OR. I got there while all but my dad were over in Manchester, so Dad and I got to have some quality one-on-one, which lately means he has stuff to show me on YouTube because he's cool. Today, he showed me this:

Téléphone Portable + Maïs = Pop-corn - Videos buzz

I think it's supposed to scare me, but I kind of want to give it a try. Looks fun.

In other news, Dad and I sat on the porch with a map and a calendar and planned the drive to Chicago. I now have a date of departure. I am thankful Dad will be driving me and helping me move in. It will make it easier. I hate the physical act of moving, especially in the summertime, but it will be different than how I imagined it; I imagined moving alone, I guess.

The rest of the fam came back and I sat outside with my 6 year-old cousin playing with his new science kit for a long while. We made glow in the dark dough and alien blood. I wish we could have done the cell phone experiment, too, but we didn't have popcorn.

Woof of the day: I want to know the identities of the tools on the back of the new Skidmore SCOPE wearing green and yellow mix matched (as in one has each color)Converse with their graduation gowns. Creative Thought Matters. Yeah. Good one.
