What happens when your child's Kindergarten class spends the week learning about bats, and then PBS Kids runs a cartoon show about how cool real bats are? Bats become reinforced as the must have pet choice.
My 5 yr old's Kindergarten class did spend a whole week talking all about bats. Every day we got new and detailed information about all the different types of bats and how cool they are. Then, PBS Kids' Wild Kratts ran a cartoon show about brown bats. Nifty.
Now, it has been thoroughly reinforced that bats are awesome and we must have one. Now. As a pet.
My 5 yr old:
"We need to get a brown bat as a pet. Call Petsmart and see if they have any. If they don't they will call you when they get some in. Then, they will tell you which ones are diseased and which ones are not. Let's get one without disease. They will tell us to keep it inside so it wont get a fungus from outside. By the way, what color is bat fungus? I want to know so I can avoid it when I go outside. Yeah. Bats are cool."
Wow. Just. Really. Wow.
Bats, huh?
From Petsmart, apparently.
