I want to make a museum for you.

Some news about the earth's core, we affix tags to things to help us remember, Bronislaw Malinowski gave Wilhelm Reich a staff, what happens to our stories when we die, I want to make a museum 4U.
I want to make a museum for you.

First: scientists think that the earth’s core may have either stopped spinning OR may be spinning backward. (!!!) My children think this means we are all going to become babies again, then cease to exist. This might not be as big a deal as it sounds—apparently, the core changes the direction it spins every 70 years. Rather than freaking out, I recommend simply setting aside some time to think about the earth’s core.
