Ultra-Violent Light

Kenneth and Evelyn participated in a week-long camp called Camp Invention a couple of weeks ago. Each day had a different theme...to sum it up it involved a lot of problem-solving and team work and the kids had a good experience. We'll probably sign up again next summer. School starts again on Tuesday and they're on the edge of their seats waiting to meet their teacher. We stopped by the school to read the teacher list so they know the names of the teachers but both teachers are new to the school so they don't know what to expect. Evelyn said that she hoped her teacher wasn't grouchy and crabby (always a good thing to avoid).

At one point this week, I tuned into a conversation Kenneth and Evelyn were having because it was about damaging light rays. Don't know how they got there. Evelyn said that the sunlight was the most damaging light but Kenneth was trying to convince her that "ultra-violent" light was the worst. I made sure they knew that the correct term was "ultraviolet" and that it is in sunlight. I had the same problem as a kid with the word "curve" and "curb"--I thought a curb was called a curve because it is curved--I recall being mocked by a couple of classmates for saying the wrong thing during a 2nd grade field trip to the Houston zoo. Random memories.
