My son and me were having the usual before-going-to-sleep talk at bedtime when he educated me with "Amma, do you know, the claws of a crab can grow back if they are cut?". I was surprised and acknowledging the truth in the statement, i asked where he came across this information. He said he they showed it on TV. From here we reached earthworms and i was educated that if the earthworm was cut into two, they grow into two earthworms. Cartoons! this time i was sure. Before i had the time to correct this partial truth came the cannonade of his questions, "If the worm is cut into two, they grow into two earthworms. But can we join it back for it to become one earthworm? Does the earthworm like being one or two??? We cannot fix it if we cut, can we?
If one steps aside from the line of science for a minute, one would see it with
the child's perspective. A point to ponder. What do the earthworms think?
