By Laura Luna "Maaaaaaawm," my ten year old daughter shrieked from behind the closed door of her room. "What?" I answered. "How do you spell 'ovoviviparous'?" "Why do you need to know that?" I asked. "I'm writing a report on snakes. Can you just tell me?" Oh sure, I could just tell her. Like who wouldn't, right? "If you're old enough not to say they're just egg laying reptiles, you are old enough to get the dictionary out and look it up!" "Maaaaaaaawm! Geez!" Ah, it's good to be the Mom!! --- Laura Luna is an Early Childhood Educator and mother of two children, Sam and Sarah.
