Inventor


I always have some interesting chats with Theo on the way to school. One morning last month (I'm woefully behind on posting these!), it was about his plans to build a metal detector so he can better search for coins.

"Mom, here's what you need—two things. You need a radio—the old-fashioned kind, not an iPod. And you need a calculator. You turn the radio way up high on the dial—so high that it just sounds like static. Then you connect the calculator to it. Then it will work like a metal detector, so you can find coins." 

Why do I think that in some crazy way, this might work?!
