As Rebecca and I were preparing dinner this evening, Christian came into the room and asked us which animal has three stomachs? I asked if he was maybe talking about a cow and I told him that I think they have four stomachs. He said it isn't a cow, it is the animal with three stomachs that eats leaves. Rebecca and I were both puzzled, but luckily Julia overheard things. She ran into the room and informed us that he was talking about a camel. Surprised, Rebecca asked Christian where he learned that. He proudly said, Julia (7) taught me.
I later looked it up and on Wikipedia it says that camels only do have one stomach, but that stomach has three parts and the food moves from one to the next. So although Christian wasn't exactly right, he was really close and I was impressed by his knowledge. But, more importantly I thought it was really cool that Julia was sharing what she was learning in school with her brothers.
Today, Julia is my superhero for being a teacher for her younger brothers.
