Google Girl

Friday night the kids and I decided to go shopping for Daddy's upcoming birthday. After finding the perfect gift for him we ventured into a nearby pet store to LOOK! 20 minutes later we are walking out of the pet store with two new pets... Goldfish named Flip and Flop.
Now, this purchase was not on my agenda nor was it something I would ever put on my agenda. With two overly happy children carefully carrying their plastic bag to the car and the million tooth grin that spread across their faces, I am sure you can identify with the inability to say no.

We get home and place Flip and Flop into their newly purchased home and Nyla gets a little inquisitive - She is asking all kinds of questions about their ecosystems, digestive habits, life expectancy etc. After trying to answer questions that I truly didn't have an accurate answer for I decided to show Nyla the miracle of Google.
Little did I know that she has now become addicted to Googling - she googles everything if she doesn't know the answer and this morning it was - Goldfish poop. She wanted to know why it looked the way it did and I will tell you I learned something more about our new pets today all because an 8 year old learned how to Google.
