OK, Heather, since you read these, tell us how the dance lesson went. We want to know.
ReplyDeleteThose are facsinating....Especially the one about humans sharing 1/3 of our DNA with lettuce. That could explain why, every three days, I have a burning desire to douse myself with blue cheese dressing.

ReplyDeleteOk, this is downright scary, but I thought the lettuce one was the coolest too!
ReplyDeleteAmazing Jodi.
If you mouth "Olive Juice" it looks like you're saying "I love you" too. And if you mouth "vacuum" it looks like you're saying something else...
ReplyDeleteDancing was awesome! It was a workout, we were both sweating. There were only 4 other people there and we switched partners regularly and that helped reinforce what we were learning. We'll definitely go back it was so much fun. :)
P.S. I think we actually share about 98-99% of our DNA with chickens. :) DNA doesn't vary that much from species to species.
