Polliwogs

brook was reading a book to me tonight and there was a word in it that she did not know, polliwogs. Wel she asked me what's a polliwog and I told her a baby frog. She said no, that is a tadpole. I got curious because it created a dought in my mind so I had to look it up. Yes, polliwogs and tadpoles are the same thing. The definition is polliwog is the larva of a frog or toad that has a rounded body and a long tail, breathes with gills and lives in water.   

There you go ladies and gentlemen, your science lesson for the day.

  5. My little one told me tonight that I was one of those grown ups who do not know everything! Okay.  She wants scientific answers and I attempt to answer them but apparently, it is not to her satisfaction.
