Being nasty to them what deserve it

...the people at ICR aren't competent to offer kindergarten level courses in pretty, pretty baby animals, let alone real biology.

I like saying "pretty, pretty baby animals". Z and E both know the Latin names for several dozen dinosaurs and know approximately when they became extinct. _Go Diego Go_ isn't an awful resource for teaching Central and South American ecology, although they do tend to refer to X being a major predator of Y as Yis afraid of X! I suppose there would be problems with blood and gore on kiddie TV cartoons.

And as far as "people" is concerned, given that black5sugars (aka HE Brand Thorsomething) taught LB that the correct response to "What is soylent green?" is "People" and then I had to explain what the heck that meant to him, he's got a basic understanding of SF, cannibalism, and that Mummy's friends are weird, but they laugh every time he says that, so okay.

Ja, some weirdness is essential to growing up in our culture.
