The All-Knowledgeable Scientist
Children are born scientists. A friend of mine and her four-year-old son, Lilian and Sean, were experimenting with straws and water. When he made a huge mess on the floor (of course!), she scolded him and they had this enlightening conversation.
Sean: You shouldn’t scold me.
Lilian: Why not?
S: Because I’m a scientist.
L: So what it you’re a scientist? Why can’t I scold you?
S: Because scientists know everything.
Let’s have some applause for the little scientist! That’s a great comeback for every occasion.

Cute :-) I encourage experimentation by my children (within reasonable limits). Thanks for using my photo.
