flea

We got into a discussion at dinner about what was the biggest bear (polar bear, or some kind of brown bear?) e decided to look on the internet and discovered that the consensus is polar bear, but some people root for the Kodiak bear (which is a subspecies of the brown bear, and is what mr. flea was plumping for.) We then looked up the biggest whale - casper said it was the blue whale, and Dillo was rooting for humpback. Casper was right, of course, but Dillo was still happy to hear about humpback whales, and the threatened meltdown when we told Casper we'd been whale watching once and SHE NEVER HAD didn't actually happen.

Dillo was full of exciting questions about planets on the drive home today - "Why does the earth move? Why do planets go around the sun? Is the moon a big planet?"

I do so hope they grw up to be scientists. I definitely should have been one (though a practical, non-quantum theory one - I am only into Chapter 2 of "How to Teach Physics To Your Dog" and I am worried I am not as smart as the dog.)
