In case you haven't figured it out, my nine-year-old son, Bubba, has an interesting way of seeing the world. He comes up with some brilliant thoughts.
Here was today's brilliant thought:
"Mama," he said. "If we could dig a hole to the other side of the earth, would we be able to fall at the speed of light through it, and then continue into space?"
"Bubba," I said. "I don't think you'd fall at the speed of light, but you'd go pretty fast. As far as continuing to space, I think the force of gravity would kick in, and send you back the other way."
He thought about that a second. "That would be cool. Then you could go back and forth bouncing from one side of the Earth to the other. They should invent an amusement park ride like that."
Uh, right. Can you imagine how long you'd have to stand in line to get a turn?
A long time. I can also imagine how sick that would make me feel...
ReplyDeleteWorse than the demon drop at Cedar Point, Ohio!
DeleteSo he wants a wormhole through the earth or an amusement ride. Try to get the various countries to agree to that!
ReplyDeleteI foresee security issues!
DeleteI'd stand in that line! Definitely grounds for a proposal at Disney :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have Bubba write up a proposal and present it. ;)
DeleteUgg, that would be one ride I'd avoid haha
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteHe should sell that idea and be a child billionaire! :)
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be nice?
DeleteBrilliant idea. Kind of scary, but brilliant.
ReplyDeleteOnly from the mind of a kid!
DeleteBrilliant thought but not a ride I'd like to take.
ReplyDeleteHappy week-end.
Yvonne.
Not one I'd be too thrilled to try, either. Hope you enjoyed your weekend as well.
DeleteGotta love his thinking!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed!
DeleteHe's got his work cut out for him!
ReplyDeleteIf he starts now, maybe by the time he's 93, he'll be to the other side. ;)
Deletehis idea might destroy the planet one day if he starts drilling it :)
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right. I should discourage such an idea. ;)
DeleteLOL, I think an amusement park ride like that would make me queasy!
ReplyDeleteYes. You and everyone else!
DeleteThe Flying Dumbos at Disneyland are more my speed.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I'm with you on that!
DeleteI think I'd have to pass on that ride. Sounds too scary for me.
