Another thing: the little Torqueling loves mermaids. But for some reason, she can’t say the word. Instead of an M, she says a W, so it comes out like, “Worm-aid”. And she gets upset if you try to correct her, or laugh. She wants to go play at her friend’s house because her friend has magic dust that’ll turn her into a wormaid. ---

> [@carnut](#): > > Uh uh. My friend’s daughter, after being taunted by an older boy, came up to her mother and I as we were talking and demanded to know why the boy would say only boys could pee standing up. Mom said, "Because it is true, E—, you need a penis to do that. E— said, “You’re wrong, I can do it too.” And she proceeded to remove her pants, grab her parts and pee in an arc while standing on one leg. We were dumbfounded but very proud of her. She was 5 at the time. She just graduated from law school. I recommend that she not demonstrate that in court. 🙂 ---

Thank you - we’re very proud of him. 😃 I think you need long exposure to the [placemats](http://periodictable.com/Posters/index.placemats.html) for it to work, Larry. And he can’t do it on a “regular” periodic table, without pictures, at least not yet. Maybe when he turns 3. 😉 ---

> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > I’m not sure whether it’s ridiculously cute or ridiculously disturbing that my three-year-old was just singing “What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor.” Wait, are you my time-traveling mother? When I was little, we had a record of kids’ songs, and for some reason, “What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor” was on there. My mom was mortified when we were out on a walk and I started singing it at the top of my lungs. ---

> [@a35362](#): > > **ENugent** , you might be happier not reading the comments on that Daily What website… 😕 Oh, I’ve been reading them. I’m mostly amused, although I did post one comment myself. It’s mostly one person being a dick, anyway. The one commenting on what a loser my husband is because he didn’t recognize hydrogen is cracking me up. Apparently this person must also believe that my husband thinks the correct chemical name for sodium is “finger.” But it’s good to know that I am a pathetic loser exploiting my kid on the internet instead of teaching him something useful. ---
