Why would dropping a toy on their foot make them less likely to slip and fall???
Because they’re holding the foot and hopping around yelling, “Ow!”
Yesterday at the Botanical Garden, we ran into one of the mothers from the Envirothon team. Our previous leader got a job, having finally gotten her Colombian veterinarian credentials accepted in NC, and some of the students graduated, so I didn’t think we would do it this year. However, Mrs. D is planning to organize a high school team, at least, which would include her son, Elen, and Sally (and at least two others).
If a middle school team is proposed, Pat could be on it, or I could declare him a 9th grader for the purpose, and he could be a high-school alternate. While printing out the “Current Environmental Issues” information, I just found an online course in Water Quality Management at EPA.gov. Just the thing for Pat! He could be a 12-year-old Certified Water Quality Specialist.
