So I was reading one of Mallory’s AR books to her tonight. And she was observing some interesting facts while we were reading… for example, on one page there were some ducks that were diving down to catch some food, and while they dove, their tails stuck out above water. She said that they were Wood Ducks, because she saw on TV that Wood Ducks keep their tails above water like that. I haven’t confirmed it yet, but she convinced me… :)

Then we got to a page where there was a raccoon eating something, and she said… it’s a raccoon eating a Mentos.

We were a little perplexed by how confident that she was that the raccoon was eating a Mentos… so we questioned her a little trying to find out what made her think it was a Mentos… so she showed us…
