keep in mind this entire convo was in maybe 15-20 minutes.
Me: I learned/remembered something in science today.
Whiny: Which was...?
Me: There are actually 4 states of matter.
Whiny: yeah and they are...?
Me: Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma.
Whiny: yup.
Me: what is plasma exactly?
Solonor: Yah see blahblahblahblahblahblah.
Me: yeah but what is it?
Solonor: blahblahblahblahblahblah
me; .:being ignored:. I wanna see something go straight from gas to solid. that would be funny. there would be a lot of concussions though because of rocks just suddenly forming above peoples heads...cool...
Whiny: yeah, but blahblahblahblahblahblah
Solonor: We should look it up
Whiny: yeah!
Mrs R: Okay!
Me: why? Why do we always have discussions like this that always end in "lets look it up" and then we never do.
Mrs R: I like these.
Me: yeah, I do to but why do I do it at school and stuff too? Is this hereditary or something?
Solonor: yeah I guess.
Me: wait, I said hereditary. did I use it right... .:ponders:.
Whiny: yeah.
Me: cool!
Whiny: actually did you mean 'you got it from them' .:points in the general directon of Mrs R and Solonor:.
Me: yeah
Whiny: then you did it right
Mrs R: actually, can't it mean you got it from the environment around you
Solonor: lets look it up!
Whiny: yeah!
Mrs R: Okay!
Me: .:cries:. why!? why can't I have a normal family!?

mrs r; oh yeah...
me: .:sigh:.
Whiny: is plasma purple?
Solonor: i just remembered! Isn't there plasma around lightning?
me; does that mean I can take a big metel rod with a jelly jar attached into the middle of a field and catch plasma???
whiny; yeah, then we can dye it purple!!!
