Some things float, and some things sink. Some things are magnetic, and some things aren’t.
Sometimes we understand terms like “magnetic strength”, and sometimes we just feel like creating “magnetic sculptures”.
Sometimes magnets are loads of fun, but other times we enjoy the sand hiding the magnets more than we enjoy the magnets themselves.
Sometimes magnets attract, and sometimes they repel. Sometimes if we’re patient and careful, we can get the hand magnet to move the car across the table without making contact.
Other times we aren’t patient at all, and we throw the car across the kitchen floor until it lands downstairs. Those times we get to sit on the “naughty rug” until we decide to apologize to Oma and retrieve the car.
And, sometimes new homeschool mommies discover that the real first day of kindergarten is the second day, because the first day was garbage.
And to that, this Oma says “sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you.”
