The Hulk Center

An acquaintance of mine arranged a field trip to the Hult Center and invited me to bring my kids. I had no idea what it was all about, but I always jump at the chance to go on a field trip. Noah needs lots of preparation for things, likes to know what to expect, and have all his questions answered before we go anywhere. So he was not pleased with this conversation last night:

Me: Hey, good news! We're going on a field trip tomorrow!
N: Where?
Me: It's this place called the Hult Center, I think. Hult Educational Center maybe. Hult Education Center?...
N: Where is it?
Me: It's in Peoria.
N: Where in Peoria?
Me: By Proctor Hospital.
N: What's it all about?
Me: No idea.
N: Why are we going?
Me: Because Levi & Jacob's mom invited us.
N: Who else is going?
Me: No idea. Let's just go and be adventurous and enjoy whatever happens!
N (rolling his eyes): Mooommmmmm!

So we went, and he had a good time, but on the way home he said, "Why is it called the Hulk Center if they don't even talk about the Hulk? I thought we were going to learn about turning green, but all they talked about was safety and nutrition and being courteous and stuff. "

There's Noah doing his presentation on peanut butter.
