An Amoeba of Love

Apparently in Dillon's primary class last Sunday, the teachers were talking to the kids about families and love and whatnot. As part of the lesson they were drawing circles and within the circles they were drawing pictures of the people they love. Sparky in all of his brilliance asks the teacher if he can make his circle any shape he wants. "Sure," the teacher said. "You can draw a heart of love or any other shape you want." Sparky then proceeded to draw a picture on the chalk board.

"What's that?" asked all of the kids in the class.

"It's an amoeba."

"What's an amoeba?" the kids then asked.

"It's a single celled organism . . .blah. . .blah . . .blah"

The other kids may have the brawn, but my kid has the brains.

You have to watch out for those amoebas of love. They can lead to dysentery of the heart.

Dysentery of the heart!!! Fabulous!

Anyway, I would like to point out once again, that Benjamin and Rachel would not have needed an explanation about amoebas. Maybe this is why the wards needed to split: to share the geeky love.
