Who is teaching who???

Its so wonderful how children are just natural learners, especially if you give them the time and learning environment that they need.

Over the weekend, Maximus said "mama, do you know what DNA is?"
I said "kind of [not really wanting to explain], do you?" He went on to tell me that it was samples of blood or hair from a dead persons body that a scientist takes an x-ray of (his vocabulary for putting under a microscope) for evidence (and yes he used the word evidence).

Wow!

We watch a lot of CSI and Forensic files, but I didn't know he was picking up information and putting it together (just one more benefit to homeschooling because these shows would come on waaay past his bedtime if he had to go to real school).
