It's A Science Thing

I like talking about science with my kids. They’re further along than I am. I missed most of the science classes when I was in school. I’m more of a liberal arts guy but over time I’ve come to like science. Watching our snow banks go down even though it’s been below freezing, Chris and I started talking about the process of sublimation – that’s when a solid like snow goes directly to a gas (water vapor) without stopping at a liquid state. You can’t really see the process except that the snow bank gets smaller.

Taking it to another level, Chris asked what it’s called when a liquid turns to gas.

Without really thinking I said, “Beer farts.”

I probably shouldn’t have missed so many classes.
