I keep my cell phone close by...you just never know when Brian or the girls will need me. So today when the caller ID said "Bethany" and it was during school hours, I could tell something was up. Was I ever in for a surprise when she was hyper with excitement over the honors biology lab she'd just completed. "Mom..I just dissected a rat and it was SO COOL!!" Yes, my sweet baby was thrilled over smashing in the skull and cutting out the brain of a rat she'd nicknamed "Claudia." How gross is that? It's bad enough that she was enjoying the lab and was giddy with joy. Then she mentioned that she and her partner had taken lots of pictures and she could hardly wait to show them to me! I'll spare you the visuals.
Part of me wonders how in the world I ever birthed two daughters who get so excited about such things. Another part of me is thankful that one of my girls is a "mini-me" and wouldn't do that lab even if it meant failing the class. But I'm so very proud of my girl for doing something I could never do in a million years...even if I wanted to, which I don't. How cool is it that my girl isn't afraid or grossed out by a biology lab? Maybe I couldn't do what she did, but I'm sure proud of her for being able to. You're one tough girl, Bethany Rose!

Hehe! I think it's cute...
Oh yeah! Sounds like Courtney and Lauren, except they dissected cats! You'll love this...for extra credit you could take your cat home and boil it down and put the skeleton of it together!!! Tip: do this outside...it stinks so badly!!! They both loved it so much that the Human A&P teacher asked Lauren to come in and help for the last 2 weeks of school (she gets to miss some of her French class to do this) and now that Cort's home she asked her to come in also!
Jackie...that's totally gross!!!!!
