Do bacteria have noses?
Back in March when Zoe had her forehead injury, she had an interesting question for me.

"Daddy, do bacteria have noses?"

"What?"

"Bacteria, do bacteria have noses?"

"No, honey, why would you ask that?"

"Mommy said that bacteria eat the medicine and so they die. But if they don't have noses how do they find the medicine so they eat it?"

"Oh... no, honey, they're covered with the medicine. It just goes inside them and kills them. They don't have to find it."

I could just imagine what she was imagining: little bugs sniffing around, looking for tiny pills to eat, and then dying because the pills have medicine.

Last night Z&I were at the video store looking for a movie I thought she and Kayla would like. (We ended up with "A Bug's Life"--now she wants to play Bug's Life and be a bug.) At one point she suggested "Meet The Robinsons", which looked like it had maybe a bit too much action for a 5-year-old. So I said, "But I think that one looks a little bit scary."

"That's OK, Daddy, I will sit with you."
