I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.: v- B3 C% O2 R x E

"Because it's been laying outside, you don't know where it's been it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?"4 O+ G" i4 S) z" c0 `

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.
