Today is science night, which means to say I'm supposed to spend 1 and a half hours on that blasted subject with my little devil. Needless to say, blood was spilled.

Alot of it.
On the desk.
On the chair.
On the floor.

And unfortunately enough, it was all mine.

I was going thru with her how the various occupants of planet earth reproduce, after she dropped a bomb on me, telling me that bats are birds.

Because like birds, they can fly.

Oh. My. God. So, I went thru with her.

U know what are mammals?

She nodded. "They give birth"

very good....

So! Fishes, they swim. Whales, do they swim?

She nodded.

Fishes, do they give birth?

"No, they lay eggs"

What about whales?

"They are too big to lay eggs. So they give birth, so they are mammals"

!!!!!!!!!!

okay.....at least she knows that they are mammals and they do not freaking lay eggs. What logic she subscribes to, I leave it up to her. She also got my point that althoh some species may share some similarities, there are some characteristics that will be different. And, so, just for the fun of it, I asked her,

What about flowers? Do they give birth?

Big mistake. I really shdn't push my luck.

"You think I stupid ah? Flowers lay eggs!"

Flowers lay eggs.....
Flowers lay eggs.....

FLOWERS DO NOT FREAKING LAY EGGS!!!!!!!
