TNT

My 7-year old son asked me "what is TNT?" I first thought he was referring to the cable TV channel. He clarified "you know, like dynamite." I told him TNT stood for trinitrotoluene. I phonetically broke it down for him and asked to repeat it until he got it right. He was thrilled to be able to say trinitrotoluene. Good for him now and in the future.
