I SWEAR I dress my kids in clean, matching outfits everyday. I comb and gel their hair everyday. Sometimes I wonder why I even try when my efforts are destroyed as soon as they eat anything. By anything I mean anything. A simple carrot stick will somehow end up mashed into their shirts or pants causing a lovely orange blob to attached itself indefinitely. And forget about the backyard. You know the sad thing about this picture is that both Nathan and Kenny did this to themselves. That's right. In boy world throwing dirt on yourself is as fun as playing with worms or using sticks a light sabers. You don't find little girls throwing dirt in their own hair. Someone else...maybe...but not their own.
Now here's the thing. In this picture, the shirt Nathan is wearing is a snapped-between-the-legs onesie with a pair of shorts over the onesie that he actually kept on for a change. He left a trail of dirt as he paraded upstairs for a bath and left a nice little pile on the floor of his room when he jumped up and down. I took off his shorts and unsnapped his shirt. About a 1/2 cup of dirt fell onto the floor. I thought, "What on earth was he doing outside to get this much of it under his shorts?" Then I undid his diaper. Another full 1/2 cup of dirt feel out. Now I thought, "Wow, my son has just done what top physicists around the world would love to do. He has defied the laws of gravity without use of any specialized equipment!" Seriously...how did he do that? How did he get THAT much dirt under his shorts, inside his onesie, up his stomach, and back down inside his diaper on the bum-side heading back up his back?!?
Come on. I am open to any suggestions.
Just give me a simple scientific or mathematical explanation.
No one?!?
Hmm...maybe I should ask NASA.

We figure Kenny was being a caring big brother and probably helped him put handfuls of dirt down the back of his shirt, or maybe he did it himself, and it gathered at the bottom...Go ahead and mail those cookies!!!
Well by applying the principle of the Cape Cod Method coupled with a Bid Ask Spread, we can see that it is clear to the most observant person that he obviously used the force of gravity and using the calculations E=MC^2 he put it over his head and down his shirt. He also put it up his shorts. that is easy to do for a young man such has himself. Don't forget the theorms and proofs I used. That deservse the cookies.
I would have to say that it has to do with the same forces that salmon use to swim up streams and waterfalls. Simply put nature finds a way for things to happen. Basically some kind of updraft caught some of the sand as it was coming down from his head and it blew up his shorts and through a tornado effect blew around his shorts until it was forced in to his diaper. Boy those cookies would sure taste good about now.
Never mention cookies again. This is what you get. Although we are the closest and the most probable so I think we deserve the cookies. Besides, I'm pregnant and I want them.
All very good. I will have to make a note that Kenny swears he did not put any dirt down Nathan's clothes. Of course he could be lying, but he has gotten in HUGE trouble before for putting dirt on his brother's head.
Anyway, kudos to your explanations. I am very proud that ya'll would actually go to such lengths to answer such a low-level of thinking question with a serious sounding answer. Kudos. You all will get cookies!
