She's been pondering unusual pets since before Christmas. For a some time, she wanted a breed of turtle called a Red-eared Slider. She filled me with enough facts and trivia that if someone brought me one, I'd not only recognize it; I could diagnose any ailments it might have.
Recently, her interest has turned to hedgehogs.
Conversation this morning before school:
P.D.: They start hissing and panting to warn you if you handle them too much. If I got a hedgehog I would name him, "Kraken".
Me: Okay, I'll bite, why "Kraken"? I thought you just said hedgehogs weren't very aggressive?"
P.D.: "Because then if one of B.B.'s friends came over and wouldn't put him down, I could say...
"RELEASE THE KRAKEN!"
(I can totally see that face at 1:28 on P.D. if they didn't listen...)
She has a great sense of humor to go with her studiousness... Gotta love that!! :-)
