Nonmaterial Resources

Marissa has been learning about material vs. nonmaterial resources.  Tonight, after Tate passed gas at the dinner table, Marissa announced that that was definitely a nonmaterial resource.  Then, we had the discussion about renewable vs. nonrenewable resources.  Unfortunately, his gas is a renewable.

It reminded me of a time that we were in the car and the kids kept barking at us that they had to go to the bathroom.  We told them they weren't allowed to keep saying that they needed to go to the bathroom; we would stop at the closest rest stop we found.

When they couldn't stand it anymore, they started saying,  "Is there a rest stop close?  We have to go 16th letter of the alphabet!"
