    that thing about the iguana committing suicide is really, really weird!

    although for some reason, that thing about kids thinking bears & giraffes are the same size really tickles me just now. or maybe it's that i'm undercaffeinated?

    I totally believe the part about the four-year-olds asking so many questions. Little one is going to get there before that point! :-D

    This stuff is really neat.

    Silver: Yeah, the thing about the iguana is really weird.


    It doesn't surprise me that kids think bears and giraffes are the same size. I mean, have you seen animal crackers?


    Infernal: I think our little man hit that many questions a day well before he was 4 too. I think he still asks at least that many questions a day, if not more.
