The other day I was browsing through a Think Geek catalog for Trav for Father's Day (go figure), and I came upon the plush giant microbes. Now, Eliza has always been interested in the human body and when she grows up, she says she wants to be a vet or a doctor and I believe her. I've seen these at a local toy store and have always wondered if she would be interested in them. So I had her come over and look at them. She recognized one of them right away. She pointed to it and said, "that one gives you a tummy ache." I could only stare at her. She said, I remember a picture of it in one of my books. She went and got her Encyclopedia of the Human Body and low and behold turned right to the page of a picture of e-coli. I told her that was right and it does cause a stomachache. Trav just leaned over and said, "She's officially smart. Now she's fact-checking." I've read that book to her many times and didn't recognize any of them. We're in trouble with that one. It's making my stomach hurt, or maybe it's just e-coli.
OMG! She's a walking brain. Maybe a future president of the U.S. Of course, G. Bush was prez, which prove that it's not about brains! Well, Jilly, you ought to be a proud Mamma!
