"The teacher taught me the word in school. I wrote it in my book. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. Beautiful! I think it means something that when you have it, your heart is happy."

It’s a great opportunity to learn more and laugh more, in another perfect combination of solid science and scatological silliness.
