I was helping the older boys with homework when Zack asked me how to spell "Greatest Marble Race in the Whole Wide World." That's a lot of letters and I didn't have a lot of time so I had him bring me some paper and I wrote it for him. A few minutes later he was asking me what some of the letters were that I had written. After about three questions I looked over and saw that he was trying to type all the letters into Google.

He was searching for something that Noah showed him called Japanese Dominoes. And while it is a pretty great marble race, you'll never find it that way. Click here to see what he was looking for. It's 9 minutes 11 seconds of good solid entertainment. My kids all have various interpretations of the ending song, which will get stuck in your head. I'd just like to know what it means.
It inspired him and except for a few trips upstairs for various items, I didn't see Zack for an hour and a half. When he did come back, he asked me to spell: "how to make Japanese Dominoes."

That was all I planned to post, but he just sat on my lap and told me that zucchinis can be dresses. I'm not going to lie, I wasn't really paying attention, so he got more descriptive. "You know those things girls wear to go swimming?" That would be bikinis, or he says, we can call them zucchinis. I am not sure where the dress part comes in.

Another Zack comment which was told to his Primary teacher: "There are two ways to get milk. One is from cows and the other is from coconuts. But I don't know how to milk a coconut."
