Another question
J (age 5) and I were working in the front yard (okay - mostly me).
I moved my 100lb tool box and found that I had crushed a small lizard. It was a quick death.
J looked at the crushed lizard - its tail had been severed. The tail was twitching around on the driveway.
He asked why the tail was moving when it wasn't attached. I explained.
We threw the lizard into the bushes (before he asked to keep it). I left the tail on the driveway.
A few minutes later after studying the tail he asked, "Dad, have scientists studied why this happens?"
Then, "Are they still studying this? Like now? Or have they figured it all out yet? Can we look up a website on this?"
