Early Scientific Experiment

Tonight we went to a friend's house to pick up some peaches she was giving away. I gave one to Max to hold in the stroller as we made the walk back home. He held his prized possession and examined it on the 10 minute stroll.

Still in his hands when we came inside he brought it to me with a big grin and noted, "This is one is like a ball Mama. Let's throw it!"

"No buddy," I said right away. "These are not balls, they are peaches and if we throw them they will break."

He turned and ran with the peach still in his hand. From the other room I heard a little giggle and then a soft thud. Max came running in proudly, peach still in hand, "See Mama, it not break when you throw it!"
