What?
Grace and I were talking at breakfast as I perused the new national geographic. I showed Grace a picture of a blue whale.
I asked “Grace, is a whale a mammal?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because whales don’t drink coffee.”
Sigh…
By the way, the definition of a mammal is that the animal: (1) has hair or fur and (2) has mammary glands. Also, nearly all mammals are characterized by live birth.
hmmm…maybe you should check what her primary teacher is teaching…some can be a little over the top!
Oh, man, that’s great. I love Natl Geographic, and it’s one of the many things I look forward to about going to Grandma’s.
