Food and your brain...

Sounds like the title to an educational film from the 70's doesn't it? Actually it was inspired by a conversation I had with #5 today.
#5: Food gets to your brain.
Me: How does the food get to your brain?
#5: It goes through a crack.
Me: Where is your brain?
#5: Its tiny...YOUR brain is big.
Me: Oh. Where is your brain?
#5: In your head.
Me: And how does the food get there?
#5: You just chew it, and it goes there.
This educational moment was brought to you by smarties candy, which ironically is what #5 was eating when we had this conversation.

I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu
