Allan came back from Germany today. He was gone for 4 days for a business trip. This was also our first dinner together in a week. And the kids were very chatty! I mentioned, in passing, that gas prices should go down as the the price of oil has dropped a lot in the last 2 days. That comment got the ball rolling... Allan stated that we really should try harder to find efficient alternative fuel and Nicholas started to mention some of the alternative fuel he has learned in his Environmental Science class. He and Allan debated the pros and cons of each source while Christina kept talking about inventing "hover cars" that would use magnets! Anthony tried to reason with her that it would only work to keep the cars up above the ground but you would still need a motor and fuel to propel the car. It was an interesting conversation... And I realized that my kids are growing up! They can now engage in a serious topic like debating the pros and cons of alternative fuel with an adult. They are smart and creative and I love to hear what they have to say about the environment. After all, they are the future! It's good that they have an opinion and can come up with a few ideas (even though they sound a little crazy!).
