Overheard

It's not fun to play trivia games with a know-it-all.  Just ask Julia-

Julia:  What animal is the biggest in the ocean?

Marc:  Well, do you  mean a fish or a mammal?

Julia:  I'm talking about a fish, of course.

Marc:  Well, the largest fish would be a whale shark.

Julia:  No- it's  a blue whale.

Marc:  See, that's why I asked- a blue whale is a mammal.

Julia:  Well, how about this- what is the fastest animal in the grasslands?

Marc:  These questions are not specific!  Do you mean bird or mammal?

Julia:  I said, "the fastest ANIMAL!"

Marc:  Well, I'll just say- the fastest mammal is a Cheetah, but a Perigrine Falcon can fly much faster than that when it's diving.

Mommy:  Quit talking and eat your supper.  :)  And Marky be careful- you are slipping  into a young Cliff Clavin.
