Overheard

There is no possible picture to go along with this one...

Walking by the bathroom last night, where Greg was dutifully brushing Nora's teeth I heard this snippet of conversation:

Greg: "....and that is what can happen when wild animals turn on you. It is just in their instinct and they can never be completely tamed. So even though he seems like a tame dinosaur, Barney could still turn on you, you have to watch him..."

Nora: "uh-huh"

Bugs

Bugs are also very popular right now. Nora and Greg collect aphids and bugs in the back yard and look at them using Greg's ever expanding collection of microscopes. Also pond water, no matter how many times you look at it, it is still amazing to see those little paramecium and ciliates scooting around, under the microscope, where you couldn't see them with the naked eye.
