I was unable to make a new thread so I will add to this one:

What can a trip to the zoo teach us?

I took my daughter to the penguin exhibit and there was a chart (with pictures) showing the walrus eats the penguin, the penguin eats the seal, the seal eats the fish, and the fish eat the krill (sp?). Well, I tell my daughter the Walrus is the doctor, lawyer, or Indian chief (oh how those childrens rhymes had meaning), the Penguin is a teacher or nurse, the fish is the factory worker or day laborer, and the krill is the Kmart or Walmart worker. I ask her what she wants to be. Does she want to eat or be eaten? Big lessons in a small place!
