Gas pipeline

They are tearing up 1300 East to put in a new gas line. We drive through the construction every day. Today DeeAnn asked me why they are "breaking the road". I told her I'd explain when we get home...

O: "No, tell us now."

M: "Okay. Do you know what 'gas' is?"

O: "Yes, it makes cars go."

M: "That's right, but it is also used to warm our homes through our heater, and our water through our water heater. So they have gas lines that go into our houses so we can have heat."

O: "Ew. And our farts are made of gas."

M: "Yes, well that's a different kind of gas."
