Old Joke Time!
Avery picked the animal book for his bedtime story and flipped to the section on snakes. As we read I pointed out that snakes can’t hear, they have no ears.
“Not even if you scream?” asked Claire.
“Nope. They can’t hear anything.”
“What about dead snakes?”
“No, dead snakes can’t hear either, silly.”
“Can snakes smell?” she pressed on.
“Yes, they smell with their tongue. That’s why they always stick it out, they are tasting the air.”
“How do dead snakes smell?”
I smiled, “Terrible.”
