vertebrates

i’m a vertebrate.
oh really…you’re a vertebrate? (think. think. what’s a vertebrate?)
i have a backbone. it’s in my back.
you do. yes, yes you do. (uh-huh, that’s what a vertebrate is)
but jelly fish don’t have backbones.
hmmm. i guess they don’t.
they don’t. but polar bears do.

*this went on for awhile. frogs, alligators, birds, spiders…and did you know frogs are amphibians…fi-bee-yons so says brody.
