The Day My Heart Stopped

Imagine sitting in the kitchen, doing your thing, when your preteen daughter walks in and exclaims, "Mom, we're making babies in science class, and you get to be my sub tomorrow!"

Yeah...my heart stopped. It was an interesting moment, but a lot of fun sitting in on an assignment where partners were flipping coins to determine the genetic outcome of a hypothetical child. I must admit, my "grandbaby" won the gene pool.

It was also refreshing to see a lesson on genetics that didn't point out the fact that some children don't share genetic material with the people in their families.
