Spencer's Research ....

I want you to know that right now, Spencer is completely obsessing about toilets overflowing and the oven catching on fire. Every day when he gets in the car in the afternoon, he tells me which bathroom toilet overflowed, who was in there and when it happened. He also knows how far the water traveled and how deep it was before the janitor could get there to clean it up. He also asks several times when I am using the oven if it will catch on fire and how do I know this. Then when I am finished using the oven, he askes me at least ten times if I remembered to take the food out of the oven and have I turned it off. I even sat down with him and drew a picture of the oven and how it works and the design of it so he would not be afraid of this. I like fire safety being taught at school but one has to wonder if they are doing it too early for their little minds. I think all it does is create more fear. Anyway, yesterday we had the SAME conversation for the 20th time this week. And this was his response to me. "Mom, I'm going to have to do a little more research on all this before I believe you." This was of course after he told me, "All drains lead to the ocean." LOL! He needs to do some research .... ppppllllleeeassseeee do!!!
