Kids Say

Cosby has a show on TNN called "Kids Say the Darnest Things". I realized, my kids will say the darndest things. I can't wait to ask them all sorts of questions that eventually lead to my daughter saying "I want to be a movie star when I grow up. Then I'll go to a movie star studio, get in a movie star car and go to bed with another movie star."

In other related news, how do I get my Lava Lamp to only have large blobs of goo. Right now there are some large blobs but thousands of tiny ones. Perhaps it's because it's only been on for 12 hours.

Your lava lamp is likely mineral oil in polyethelene glycol/water solution since they are immiscible. However, it sounds like it has been shaken or otherwise has emulsified part of the mineral oil/goo in the lamp into lots of little blobs and the heat from the lightbulb alone is not sufficient to 're-blob' or coalesce the lava. I don't recommend taking the lamp apart so enjoy the little blobs or go buy a new lamp and try not to agitate it.

Yeah, you always have to be really careful not to agitate lava lamps - they have nasty tempers! :)
