Adam came home from school with a project assignment: to make an animal habitat diorama. He decided to do an ocean habitat.
Since Poppa and Gangee are here for a visit, I decided to ask Poppa to oversee the making of the diorama. He agreed, and I am thrilled for several reasons. First, this will be a great memory for Adam. Second, Poppa enjoys this kind of thing. Finally, I am slammed with birthday party and holiday preparations, and it is a relief to hand it off (as much as I usually like a good school project).
Poppa is a natural teacher and has been enthusiastically throwing out interesting ocean facts at Adam as they work. I am beginning to think he is casting pearls before swine, however, because Gangee just reported to me that she overheard the following:
Poppa: ...and did you know that an octopus doesn't have a regular nose? It has a beak!
Adam: I really don't care.
Oh, my! At least he is honest!
