Well, I did it again the other day - I sounded like my Dad. Only this time it was to two 5 year old boys as I walked them to their school for afternoon classes.
The one boy noticed a "rainbow" in the water puddle as we were crossing it, and stopped to look at it. He of course asked me why there was a rainbow in the water. So I replied:
"Well, you see, the cars leave gas and oils on the snow and as the snow starts to melt the gas and oils stay on top of the water, making it look like there's a rainbow there!"
The one little boy didn't believe me and drew out a long, disbelieving, "Noooo"!
So I then said, "Or it could be that a leprechaun took a bath in the water puddle and left a rainbow behind to let us know he was there!"
The boy then believed the actual scientific answer - go figure!
