Scientifically speaking...

I went on a field trip with G yesterday to the Lincoln Park Zoo. It was a beautiful day, the kids were all pretty welly behaved and we saw a lot of animals! In one exhibit, there was a large tank of water with many, many fish. Down at the bottom of the tank was a crocodile/alligator looking thing, but it was so still for such a long time, the adults weren't certain it was real. We knelt down to look at it, studied it, questioned it and finally decided it may NOT be real. G then knelt down, looked at it and said, "It's real...I can tell by its teeth." I said something like, "Is that so?" He said, "Yes mommy, have to observate things!"
