Cute Story of the Day

We are having a scavenger hunt this week at our library. The children need to find letters that are hidden around the building and then unscramble them to get a tootsie pop. The clue on the sheet is "What is Minnesota's un-official state bird?"(answer: Mosquito). I had two young girls working on it today and finally they came over to the desk and said can you give us another clue. I said to them well, its something that flies and bites you in the summer when you go outside in Minnesota. One of the little girls starts jumping and says very loudly "Alligators"! I smiled and said to her, we don"t have alligators in Minnesota. She leans close to me and says," We do have alligators in Minnesota, they just have not found them yet". I explained to them that the correct answer is the Mosquito, but because they worked so hard on it they both received the prize.

Beware everyone, of Minnesota's un-official state bird, the flying alligator, while you are enjoying your weekend. =D
