my kid is a genius!

the other day i was outside painting some shelves, and scarlett was outside with me. she had gathered up all of the nipples for the baby's bottles and she was stacking them on top of each other. she had stacked them so high that they were starting to curve and fall over(kind of like a curved bridge). she looked at me with a really serious face and said "look mommy i built a cantilever". i was laughing so hard! she knows what a cantilever is from a curious george movie. i had to look up the definition on wikipedia...she is smarter than me! but a cantilever is a type of bridge or a platform that is anchored by weight on the base of the platform...for those of you who dont know that.
