Children are the best scientists until their 'education' wears down their curiousity and wonder.

How do you answer a six year old who asks 'since snail shells are so hard how do they grow?'

I find it easier to tell a blatant lie to adults and get away with it than kids.

It was a schoolboy in the 1940's or 1950's ? who pointed out to the lofty physicists that the Universe was getting lighter as all stars were converting mass to energy!
