Would you Rather #2

Q:Would you rather have to loudly sing the chorus of Jingle Bells every time you walk into a room for a week OR have to wear a Santa suit to school every day for a week.  WHY?

A: I Would rather sing jingle bells because people might think it is funny and laugh. The other one is just weird, and probably uncomfortable. That is why I would rather sing jingle bells than to  wear a Santa suit.

Would you Rather Christmas

Q: Would you rather not celebrate Christmas this year OR not celebrate your birthday this year.

A: I would rather no celebrate my birthday because I feel like my birthday is just another day. I also think that on your birthday you get celebrated for doing nothing. Meanwhile, Christmas is a time for family, and it is also a big christian holiday where you celebrate Jesus’s birth, not yourself. That is why I would rather not celebrate my birthday than to not celebrate Christmas.

My Favorite Family Member

My favorite family member would be my grandfather (My moms dad). He is my favorite family member because he was a big christian roll model for me. My favorite memory I have with is looking at his glass collection. He collected a ton of glass sculptures. He also collected marbles. One trait that he had that I want to have is that he was a big christian, and I want to follow in his foot steps. Unfortunately he is no longer alive. That is why he is my favorite family member.

Smarter Every Week #1

I am going to do a post every week researching a topic that someone suggests in the comments. That person will also get a shout out. This week I am answering my own question of why does molten salt explode when you put it in water.

The answer is simple salt is made out of two thing sodium and chloride. Chloride is a gas at room temperature. When it is mixed with sodium it becomes a solid at room temperature. When the salt is heated the chloride evaporates leaving only sodium. Sodium explodes with water. That is why sodium explodes with water.
