Buttercups and daisies

We've been learning some pretty cool stuff at preschool recently:
We've fed caterpillars until they were so fat they made themselves cocoons to sleep in. When they woke up, they'd turned into butterflies we could release in the park.
Then we had an excellent story about tadpoles that turned into frogs. How cool is that?
So there we were - mom, ollie and i - going down west 10th: i was clearing the way for mom and ollie on my bike, they were coming along at a more sedate pace with the stroller, when suddenly i stopped in my tracks. "Wow mom, look at all the buttercups". There was a whole garden where they were growing nothing but buttercups all over their lawn it was ever so pretty. "Mom, did you know if you pick buttercups and put them into water they turn into daisies?"
