When your DD10 was the only child invited to speak to a group of adults at a local river watershed association fundraiser about a summer river camp that she has attended for the past 4 years or so last Saturday.

Among other stories she happily told them how I had been very impressed on a birdwatching/dog walking trip along the shore of a nearby reservoir when I had pointed out some teeny tiny snails in the water to her and she had exclaimed "That's a gilled snail so the water here must be very clean!". The director then interjected that it how similar the gilled and the lunged snails are and that you really had to know what you are doing to be able to tell them apart when DD blurted out - "yes! one opens on the right and the other to the left. She had learned this at river camp once over 2 years ago!
