quote of the day

(BACKGROUND: Recently I was asked what a duck's mouth was called. I said "A bill." Since then, I've been asked that question many times. The boy seems intrigued by the difference between a bird mouth, a beak, and a duck's mouth, a bill. Another sidenote: When he asks us what a body part is called, we don't lie.)

Now you're up to speed. So today we're reading a book before his nap.

ELIAN: (Pointing to a duck's bill): "Mama, what's this?"

MAMA: "What do you think it is?"

ELIAN: "A scrotum."
