Solary System model part #1

Like almost all other third graders around the US;  LJ has started learning about the solar system and will end the period with building a 3D model and 2 page report.  He has chosen the planet Uranus as the subject of his report.  We decided that each day we would read one page about the planet and write one or two sentences onto index cards of things we found most interesting, then when it came time to write the actual report, it should be fairly easy to write. 

Last night we began reading about Uranus and learned it is made up largely of methane gas. 
I said to LJ, " interesting, I wonder what Uranus smells like"?
The peanut gallery started cracking up at that.
"hehe, what does Uranus smell like...."

Oh, and by peanut gallery, I mean the 47 year old infant I am married too. 

So far, LJ  is not aware of the double meaning when the planet name is said incorrectly; but I don't hold out hopes that will last too long.

This is going to be a very long project.
