My daughter came in this evening and said she was all stuffy and sneezing, and could she have something for the nose.
I explained that her allergies were acting up, because of the pollen, and probably mold outside blowing around.
Her: Mold blows around?
Me: ...I think so. I've seen mold get puffy when it's been around a while (outside) and if you blow it, the spores make a cloud in the air.
Her: Mold has spores?
(I felt confident in saying that until she asked. After all, she's the one studying plants right now)
Me: As far as I know. I mean... it's been a while since I've had botany...
Her: You can BUY mold?
...(me thinking)
...(still me thinking)
Me: ............... BOTANY. BOTANY. Study of plants.
Sheesh.
