What kids are learning these days!

We were out for a drive the other day and as usual Gabby's mind was churning. She was thinking about the shapes she was learning about in school.

Side note: She's in 2nd grade.

So, suddenly she chirps out from the back seat of the car:

You know, I was thinking about a screw being an incline plane wrapped around a cylinder but really I think it is actually an incline plane wrapped around a cone!

Her parents:
Uh...yeah Gabby, that's right! The other would actually be a bolt!

Man do kids learn some advanced stuff in school these days! I don't remember learning about the shape of a screw ever and in 2nd grade no less!

Plus, me thinks we may have a little engineer on our hands!
