I went in to wake Alex up this morning. I sat on the edge of her bed rubbing her back and saying soothing little nothings to help her transition to being awake.

Eventually she rolled over, looked up at me sleepily, and asked, "Am I viviparous?"

"...Yes," I said. That seemed to satisfy her. I asked her about it a little while later and she told me she had been dreaming about mammals.

What the hell are we going to do with this kid? Other than teach her to memorize Joanna Russ's "Useful Phrases for the Intergalactic Tourist," I mean.

"Viviparous" means "gives birth to live young." As opposed to laying eggs. So presumably all of us are. :-)
