One of my friends has started posting her children's random thoughts every week. You know, those "did you know" kind of things kids come up with? So, tonight at dinner, Brandon had a "did you know" moment, and I thought I'd share it.
Brandon: "Did you know that the reason a whip makes that snapping noise is because it actually breaks the sound barrier when you crack it?"
Me: "Um, no I did not know that. Are you sure about that? It doesn't sound right."
Brandon: "Yep, I saw it on the Discovery Channel."
So, being the skeptic that I am, I looked it up. According to Wikipedia, "The tip of the whip breaks the sound barrier and causes a sharp crack—literally a sonic boom." He's like a sponge, that kid.
