Bill Nye I am not.


The most complicated thing about having Boy as my son is the unending science questions for which I have no answers.

Do sound waves travel faster in warm or cold air? ANSWER

I have no freaking clue! I was an ENGLISH major I took the least amount of science and math that was required of my in both high school and college. I can make you cute little heredity charts, and figure out the likelihood that a child will have blue eyes or whether a pea plant will be short or tall. I can name every tree that grows on the EIU campus; these were the types of science classes I took.

John was a painter. I am a writer. How on earth did we end up with a kid that wants to collect owl scat and study it for fun?

I think they travel faster through cold air.

But I'm not 100%. Did you do a search? Now I want to know.

It's warm air. I added a link to my source after the question. Of course I did a search. My boss says I'd be in trouble with out electricity because I look everything up online. I say "Of, Course! It's faster."

Hi Liza, this is Iain's uncle Martin. Anyway, sound travels faster through cold air, because it is denser than warm air. If you ever get a question that you or Mason can't answer, feel free to call Iain's nerdy uncle Martin.
