Do you see anything unusual about the name of this science museum? I asked a lady who worked there and she couldn't explain to me why the place is called "Tom Tits Experiment."
I'm dying to know. I hope its either:
1. Tom had a strange last name or
2. "Tits" means something else in Swedish!
In case you are wondering if we saw anything related to the museum's name.... Yes, we did. There was a plastic model of a breast sitting on a table. Also on the table were 9 plastic wombs with a plastic baby inside, each one showing the growth of the baby during the 9 months of pregnancy. So as not to leave the children wondering how the baby gets out, the last model was of a dilated cervix with the head partially out. Our boys looked all this over with interest, asked a few questions (they were especially curious about the umbilical and how long it was), and then moved on to the punching bag and gloves display!
There was one other opportunity to view some human nakedness. I wouldn't consider this part educational though. Luckily I saw the pictures first and was able to steer my boys away by saying "Hey, did you guys see that?!", and pointed to whatever looked enticing to them. I'm not ready for my boys to see actual pictures of nude men and women, especially while visiting what is supposed to be a children's science museum!
Oops! They shrunk me!!
Nah, the table was just extremely large! My husband and I sat at this table and understood what its like for small children to sit at the dinner table. No wonder they play with their food - its at their eye-level!
We had a great day wandering through all the science exhibits and learning how things work. (Too bad all the explanations were in Swedish...)
May the resurrection of our Lord and Savior be your reason for
Rejoicing Evermore! HAPPY EASTER!
