Defenses

Thought this was a moment in time to remember...
Nolan and I were on our way to pick up Ethan from school and had a little science discussion..."are these gnats blood suckers?" (we've had quite a swarm now for a week of these most annoying no see-um bugs) . Me: "no, just mosquitos". Nolan: "why are they here; what do they do, what's their defense?" Me: "they're just food for some other bugs, birds, bats". Nolan: "yeah, but what's their defense?" Me: "I don't know". Nolan: "well, the worst defense is when frogs pee on you." Me: smile.
