Mad Scientist

Claire's favorite Christmas gift may well be the very cool microscope set that she received from her Nana and Papa. After she and Papa spent much of Christmas morning assembling it and examining various slides, Claire announced that she was planning to study DNA. We, of course, expressed appropriate enthusiasm for this idea. Claire followed up by clarifying that, in particular, she was planning to compare Margot's DNA to cat DNA. We asked her why she'd be doing that. Her answer? "Because it will establish that Margot is a cat."
