A Logical Fallacy that Works on Kids

Me to kids: "If you don't eat your vegetables you won't get a super power."
Kids: "What?! That's not true."
Me: "Mommy doesn't eat vegetables, and mommy doesn't have a super power. Therefore, if you don't eat your vegetables you won't get a super power."

Hypothesis Tested

Apparently, on the kids TV show "Dinosaur Train" on PBS they talk about "testing hypotheses" on the episodes. They propose experiments and then test them to see if the hypothesis is true or not. 

So tonight at dinner, E (5 yrs old) says out of the blue: "Dad, I have a hypothesis to test" [she pronounced it high-pop-isis].

Me: "Oh, what's that"

E: "I have a hypothesis that we can have rice crispy treats for dessert." 

Me: "I think we should definitely test that hypothesis."

And we did.

Me: "L, your nail polish is making me high."

L: "What do you mean high?"
