This morning at breakfast, Derek was explaining to our kids about a 5 minute video clip he had seen about cells (trailer for Unlocking the Mystery of Life). He started off by talking about how a cell has a nucleus, and how it contains the blue print for other cells. When he asked if they had ever seen a blue print, Elizabeth pipes up, "Yes! I saw it on the pink panther!" (I will admit that the episode she is talking about is pretty funny; it's on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-xBAyRREJ4). He proceeded to talk about DNA, messenger RNA, transcription, translation, amino acids, and proteins. David was captivated by it all."Wow, it's like a factory!" Elizabeth said, "Can I watch pink panther?"
