My two girls (aged 8 and 11 going on 36) are playing within earshot.
The eldest, just now, said
“We’re both the smartest, but I’m using DNA to make dragons.”
Call Social Services now. It’ll be kindest in the long run.

Richard – mine are about the same age as yours (8 and 10). When she was four, the eldest looked at a fossil of a feathered dinosaur, then on display at the Natural History Museum, and asked me whether I had “punished it in Nature.” Bless.
hahah.
Apparently these dragons now have “miniature lasers”.
I don’t know whether to be proud or scared.

It was the DNA that did this? Run for your life. Do it now.
Forget dragon cloning – it sounds like you need to instruct your eldest about the proper use of the superlative.
Well, how else is she going to make dragons?
Jenny – I was just happy they agreed on something.
Good point Eva. I look forward to the grant application (pun unavoidable, really).
I suggest you help your younger daughter in a show-off in favour of the role of RNA.
RNA? Do dragons have RNA? I might have to ask her.
Was that a lesser spotted dragon or a blue-toothed dragon? (falls off bridge)
