Madelyn was looking at the Recreation Guide and classes at the nature center.
Madelyn: I want to do this one! And can we do this one? Cool! It's raptors!
Me, while reading the description: Yeah, that's cool, but part of it is pretty gross.
Madelyn: Really? What?
Me: Do you know what an owl pellet is?
Madelyn: No....
Me: Do you know what owls eat?
Madelyn: No.
Me: They eat mice and other small animals. When they eat them, they pretty much swallow them whole, but they can't digest the animal's bones and fur. So, they throw up the bones and fur in a ball. Part of this class is to pull apart one of those balls and find all of the bones.
Madelyn: EEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!
But, she was pretty impressed that I've done that before.
