Hypothesis:
It will take Rob a long time to notice that the picture needs fixing.
Materials and Methods:
1 picture barely showing in the frame.
I left the picture alone and just noticed, from day to day, if Rob fixed it or said anything about it.
Results:
Rob noticed the picture much sooner than I thought he would. I was ready to wait months and months. Instead, he noticed and fixed the picture not 12 days later, on March 28, 2009, when I took this picture as proof:
(Rob says he fixed it the day before, but I figure that since the picture had been messed up for a few days before the official start date, I can say that it officially was fixed on the day I took this picture.)
Rob was thrilled to find out that he had been the object of an experiment--you know, since he's a scientist himself.
Future Directions:
No more experiments on Rob. He is a thoughtful, wonderful person and I take him for granted. We will continue to apply our scientific minds to running experiments with/for the kids. For instance, the Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit and Orange Comparison Experiment that we ran the other day at dinner. That was a lively one.
...and you're just going to leave us hanging about the outcome of the Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit and Orange Comparison Experiment?
ReplyDeleteI haven't formally written it up yet. But you could run it yourself, you know. Even if our methods varied a little, I think things would turn out all right. Happy Experimenting!
