Totally, for the summer I gave my kids what has become known as “Daddy’s summer school”: They get free reign to every day choose any object in their life to learn about and and give me a report every day, presenting me with the history, function and any bonus questions I can think of once they’ve chosen a topic and they’ve been loving it. Here’s why it’s related lol: Yesterday my kid did a report on the toilet, and not only learned about the myth of Thomas Crapper inventing the toilet not being true (He only made it a common household appliance) but truly loved how she learned about the fact the Crapper name was on the toilet which led to the phrase “going to use the Crapper” which ultimately led to the use of the Crapper name as a verb and subsequent “profanity” ... she made me laugh so hard when as part of the report (they’ve been reading as if they’re presenting) she says, “Thomas Crapper’s last thoughts must have been funny having been so successful: ‘Look at what I’ve done in my life: my name is poop’”
