Physics Experiment
Mike, being mildly insane, got WildChild a new toy. It's a snowman, encapsulated by a sphere. When you pull the trigger repeatedly, the sphere spins, and opens up to reveal the snowman inside. It also plays really annoying electronic music, and is attached to a tube of candy....small, pellet-like candy a little smaller than Tic-Tacs. WildChild was playing with it this morning after breakfast, and decided to conduct his own little experiment.
Hypothesis:
What will happen if WildChild pours the candy in the opened sphere while it's spinning?
Result:
WildChild gets in trouble.
I was alerted to said experiment by the sounds of hard candy being thrown all over the living room. We have hardwood floors, so it sounded like someone repeatedly throwing handfuls of gravel on a tin roof. I picked up a full handful of it, but I doubt I found it all.
Good thing Sollie likes it too.
