Scott’s brilliant drawing of a skeleton…
Scott: Scraggy? Scraggy?
Helen: Skeletons.
What do you think, Scott?
Scott: Scraggy.
Helen: Skeletons or X-rays?
Scott: Why not Scraggy?
Because it’s too annoying… Skeletons?
Scott: I guess I’ve got no choice…
Helen: Skeletons or X-rays – they’re mostly the same.
Scott: I guess I’ve got no choice. Guess we should talk about skeletons…
What does a skeleton do?
Scott: Well, without skeletons we’d just be a floppy, mushy bit of skin.
Helen: Usually, it’s a bit of bone.
So everyone’s got a skeleton?
Scott: Well, eh…
Helen: Yeah.
Scott: Invertebrates probably don’t.
Helen: Except for… For… Objects like bags that don’t have bones.
Scott: Every living thing he means. Invertebrates don’t.
Helen: And houses don’t. And bricks don’t. Most things don’t.
Scott: Helen, I think he means living things – not everything in the world made of matter. Invertebrates probably don’t have skeletons.
Helen: Yeah.
Scott: You don’t even know what the word means.
Helen: It’s a tardigrade.
Scott: I guess you’re right – I can’t top that. Tardigrades don’t have bones – they’re just like big bags.
…And Helen’s.
