Did my first PAWS presentation last week, at a park district day camp. We had a group age 6-9, followed by a group age 10-12. The older kids answered direct questions, and generally weren't very disruptive. The younger kids... well... sometimes it went like this, "Who knows what spay and neuter mean?" *hands go up* "Yes, you?" "I have a dog!" Okay

"Who knows what spay and neuter mean?" *hands go up* "Yes, you?" "I have a dog!" Okay.

This reminds me of my first round of school visiting for the summer reading program for Chicago Public Library. In the grades K-3, at the end we'd ask if there were any questions. Invariably, a dozen kids' hands would go up, but they all had what could be qualified as "stories" and not "questions." Like "one time I visited the library and got my Junie B. Jones book and then we went for ice cream..." "That's nice. Are there any QUESTIONS?" I have to say, it was pretty cute. =)

The girls, almost invariably, wanted to cuddle it, and the boys, almost invariably, wanted to growl and make it bite people. :)

Typical! :-D
