Because Leap Pad told me so!

Delaney was playing with her “Human Body” book on Leap Pad. She yelled, “Mom, come here!”

So, I walked into her room and she said, “Listen!”

She used that green wand to push on the face of a lady in the book who was wearing frumpy clothes, had an ‘easy’ haircut such as a bob, and even looked, well, old. The cheery Leap Pad voice piped up and said, “Between the ages of 40 and 50, people are considered Middle Age. They get gray hair, their metabolism slows down, and they tend to put on weight.”

Delaney looked up at me and said, “You’re going to be 40!”

Then she proceeded to click on the woman’s hair and the damn Leap Pad informed us that gray hair occurs when the body produces less pigment. Again, my darling daughter looked at me and said, “Now we know why!”
