Bobby McFerrin is so amazing.  Check this out, and ponder what it says about the human brain.

Annie,
We have not checked this out yet, but will. Had the boys watch the virus NPR thing on the virus this morning, and they LOVED it-- especially when the immune system fights the virus. Fun stuff. We all cracked up at Sweet P in her halloween outfit. Looks like Mo is a cat, O is Harry Potter, but we cannot figure out who J is! Please let us know.
