Darby has notched a new achievement into her educational belt - her first animal dissection. Numerous froggies were autopsied by Darby's gifted education class. Darby was very excited and had a great time, particularly when she cut open the frog and was able to actually know what she was seeing, naming everything she found. She even found poo in the frog - there must be bonus points for that one.
I had warned her about the smell. How can you forget that stench? But she did not mind it too much. These modern kids are totally pampered - they get peppermints to suck on to counteract the stench, they get rubber gloves to wear so they don't actually touch any frog guts with their skin, they have plastic protectors covering their face so nothing squirts up into any open orifice.
And after cutting open the froggies, they get to show off their work to the entire fifth grade, so now all the other kids can be jealous. Score for Darby - she was completely fascinated and wants to cut open more things now.
