eastern religion.

the other day for science, we watched an episode of sid the science kid on PBS. usually, i can tolerate kid-friendly programming in small doses -- but this particular episode was proving to be more than i could handle.

it was explaining the science behind inhaling and exhaling.

to support its point, it featured a music video with a lone cartoon woman singing, "breathe in...breathe out..." over and over again.

it was just too much.

we turned off the episode before it was finished, much to the chagrin of the one little scientist in my room (the only one of my four boys actually paying attention to the sad, sad vocals coming from the TV).

the next day during morning social skills, someone brought up the music video and the adults began to chuckle at the recollection.

my little scientist/kid who is obsessed with social studies [we are multi-layered in our corner of the school] piped up and said:

breathing in and out. that's what they do when they are practicing that religion in asia. booty-ism. right?

again, it was just too much. in the very best possible way.
