Random Question

Sometimes, Zachary asks the most random questions in the most random situations. We were riding home from the mall the other day and out of the back seat comes this question: "Mommy, why are frogs the only animals with no tails?"

After about 5 minutes of supressed laughter, I still had no idea how to answer the question. I knew that as tadpoles frogs do have tails, but didn't want to get into a lengthy discussion with a 5 year old on the life cycle of a frog. Since then, I cannot for the life of me come up with a good answer for that question.

If you have a brilliant answer that would make sense to Zachary, please leave it in the comments below. It would be a life saver.

Everytime they saw a fly, they would get happy and their tail would wag. The wagging tail would then scare off the flies. It's all about sacrificing a tail for a good meal, really.

Also, they would bump them on the ground every time they landed and it would hurt.

Glad I could help.
