Setup: We have been reading a kids book on the periodic table which includes facts about each element.
Tonight: I am telling the boys a bedtime story where they are traveling on a train inside a mountain, and they happen upon 2 dragons they have to defeat. I ask each of them what weapon they will use to defeat their dragon.
4 Year Old: "I will use my Moose Poop Gun!" So in the story I have him launch moose poop at the dragon, who accidently ignites the poop, and burns himself up in the process. Now it is his brother's turn to select his weapon again a dragon.
6 Year Old: "I will use my Mercury Bazooka!" "I will poison the dragon with the element Mercury!"
Well, I guess he was paying attention to the periodic table book details after all.
