Can you “Google” that?
This is clearly a sign of the times….below is a conversation I just had with my 5 year old grandson Keelen.
We have been having some pretty bad winter weather and school has been canceled….argh!!! So all this week I have had an assistant. I am at my desk and deeply involved in some research I am doing for my Ms Sparky blog when the following conversation ensues.
Keelen: Grandma do spiders have hearts?
(I am deep in thought and he actually has to ask me twice to get my attention)
Keelen: (a little louder than before) Grandma do spiders have hearts?
Me: (It takes me a minute to snap out of my totally focused alter reality) Um. Um. Yeah. I think so. I’m sure they do.
Keelen: (evidently not totally convinced with my wishy washy answer, he responds) Can you “google” that?
When I was a kid the response to most of my questions were “Because I said so.” or “Just because.” Clearly those days are gone.
I guess before I try to BS my way through another one of those “Are you smarter than a 5th Grader questions” I will just say…”Let’s “google” that!”
FYI- Yes, spiders do have hearts…but they are very different from a human heart.
