Just before 7:00 this morning, I thought I heard some sounds, so looked out the window to see a pickup truck but no backhoe. The backhoe arrived just after 7 and Jonathan watched out the window while I got ready for the day. Daddy said we could go out to look before breakfast since... (More)

How Does Skin Stick Together?

I try to take Jonathan's questions seriously and answer them as accurately as I can. This morning, I could not think of a better answer than "well, the cells, they just do." (Which is not very satisfying.) So I looked to the internet for help. All I can find is that... (More)
