"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!!
