And yes, though the use of quotes wasn't entirely necessary, it was entirely intentional.
Here's the story:
After getting to an acceptable stopping point in my latest sewing project yesterday afternoon I gathered my materials in my arms to take them back to the bedroom.
In the mix was my box of extra straight-pins, to replenish my pin cushion. (I had acquired several bent pins. Bent pins are no longer "straight" pins and are rather difficult to use.)
So out of my arm-load of stuff, guess what I dropped?
Yep. 437 straight pins. On the carpet.
Of course the lid popped off the box.
But I was calm. And quick on my feet.
"Hey Dale! Let's do some science!"
4 of Dale's most favorite words.
We had a great little lesson on magnetism.
And I got all my pins picked up. :)

Oh...I knocked a full box of straight pins onto the floor of my closet once - and had no homeschooling scientists to eagerly help me...boo hoo. I found pins for MONTHS after that! Yea for your eager helper!
