Ethan Wants to Know...


Do kangaroos make sounds?

He asked me that today while we were eating our lunch. I honestly don't know the answer.

I truly didn't know either! I can't believe in all my years of working with kids, nobody asked that question!
brilliant!
here's the answer from the San Diego Zoo:
Kangaroos don’t make many sounds. They have been heard making grunting and coughing sounds, they sometimes hiss, and females may make clicking or clucking sounds to call their young. A more common sound for kangaroos is a loud thumping they make with their feet to warn others of danger.

I learned something (Thank you "His Girl"). I thought that kind of squealed -- like a loud mouse's shriek. I stand corrected!! (But SOMEDAY!!! I want to visit the outback!!! It should go on my Bucket List!)

I love the way that kid's mind works.

We can learn a lot from Ethan! You could have it's own little label...."Ethan wants to know..."
