Diamonds

Wm lost Tooth #2!  And now his two front teeth are a bit loose.  But, since it takes Wm 800 years to get a tooth out, he'll probably be 8 before they fall out.  He is very excited to conduct a "science experiment" with his tooth - he is going to put it in a glass of coke and check it every day to see what the coke does to the tooth.  Hopefully Steve is watching!

And, walking home from school today...
Wm: Do you know how diamonds are made?
Me: Does it involve coal?
Wm: No. Volcanoes.
Me: Ummm...really?
Wm: Yes. [Long and involved description of how diamonds are made from magma.]
Me: Where did you hear that?
Wm: I invented it.  But it sounds like it could be real.
