Last year Mars' class went on a school excursion to the Botanic Gardens where they learned about many things including bamboo.
Mars can now explain to you that bamboo is not a tree or a bush, but a grass. Not only that, it's the fastest growing grass in the world and can grow up to a metre within a day of germination.
I've just been sitting at the kitchen table doing not much on my computer, and Mars has been sitting across from me working on a puzzle that Supernerd got for his birthday.
As is so often the way with children, a question comes at me from left field.
"Mum, why does bamboo grow so fast?"
"I don't know Mars, what do you think?"
"I think You need to go and ask your Dad."
