Logan was complaining about a hangnail, so while I folded clothes, I filled the laundry sink and told him to soak his hand. Myra brought clear plastic cups to keep him busy as he stood there. She started showing him very normal things about water displacement, buoyancy, air pressure, and he was impressed -- 'cause he's never seen these things before. What?! Then I realized, he's never washed dishes by hand! In the bath, he plays with cars and boats.
