Share your knowledge

This afternoon, Nolan was reluctantly cutting out some hearts for a school project (he hates cutting). To distract himself, he kept chattering away at me while he talked. 

"Mom, do you know any facts that I don't know?"

I thought about it and said yes, I probably knew a few things he didn't. 

He immediately said, "Tell them to me."

Well that stumped me. I figured he wouldn't care about human genetics or why lungs work the way they do, and I certainly wasn't going to discuss the birds and the bees, so I finally said, "The square root of 16 is 4."

Nolan stared at me and asked me to say that again. He then carefully repeated it. Long pause. Then, "I have NO idea what you're talking about, Mom."

Guess he isn't quite ready to have all the facts.
