It took me a few years, and two kids to figure out that the most interesting thing in life for kids of all ages, sizes and mental faculties is to drop things down. And this is one scientific discovery they make very early in life.
Aniruddh must have been about six months old when his experiments with gravity began. I watched in great pride as he dropped his new (and expensive) toy repeatedly "He is learning about gravity" I informed everyone who cared to listen, or who didn't. "We have to encourage his appetite for knowledge". Four years later, his "appetite" for knowledge has resulted in a truckload of broken articles. Now the younger one is also learning about gravity, my appetitie for knowledge lies on the floor with the broken scientific experiements. The gravity of the situation is now, all on my face.
