During her nighttime bath, Trixie gets quite reflective.  Some of the questions she’s asked us in the past are pretty fantastic.  And tonight, she whipped out this little doozy:

“Do animals have belly buttons?”

Needless to say, we ran to the computer, googled placental mammals, sauntered back into the bathroom, and answered the question as if that bit of trivia had been floating around the old noggin indefinitely.  Thus I have once again preserved my status as “person of omniscience.”

But it’s only a matter of time before she starts snooping around about the general characteristics of metatheria!
