Iowa Hall

Late May 2010, originally uploaded by Chiara and James Hemsley.

We went with Oma and Grandpa to the museum of natural history here at the University of Iowa. Norah liked the skeleton room, and wanted to know what all the skeletons were. I showed her the human one (behind her) and asked, 'What animal do you think this is?" She looked at it, and said, "Amelia!" [Amelia is her babysitter!] I thought that was just hilarious.

I *think* she might have said that because Amelia took her there one time and might have said something like, 'That is what I look like on the inside"....or maybe Norah just sees a resemblance that is unclear to the rest of us....
