6 yr old DD and skull 💀

[DarkLikeVader]

Posting for traffic ... currently arguing with DD 6 so need some quick back up!

I found a skull in the garden. Asked DH to move it before DD saw (he had gloves on and I didn’t). From teeth and size I’d say a badger skull or maybe a fox (I didn’t examine too closely). DD overheard, wants to see it and maybe take it for show and tell 🤮

I found skulls myself at her age but small rodenty or bird ones on wood walks. This feels.. different. Would you let a six year old a) see it b) take it to school? Thanks!

Slightly OT, but we moved house this past Spring and we had one of those green gazebos stored in the shed. Upon removing it, we realised that a rat had died in it, obviously a while before we’d found it as all there was was the skull and part of the spine! Thoroughly interesting and I showed the kids it when I put it in the bin (I didn’t physically touch it though!) and they were fascinated.

I have a giraffe and a wilderbeest skull - but I did live in Africa, they weren't randomly found in my garden!
