Bedtime Stories

Many parents tell bedtime stories to their little children. One father, Jason Heeris, admitted on Twitter the other day that a few weeks earlier he set out to bore his three-year-old child to sleep by telling everything he knew about particle physics and nuclear physics. There was rather a lot to tell. And to his surprise, Jason said:
Every night since then, as he's falling asleep, his little voice pipes up: "tell me about atoms daddy."

Check out the thread as Jason discusses his son's engaging questions at this link. It's a charming story of how learning about science is fitting into this family's bedtime habits.
