My perceptive son

My kids are fans of the PBS show, Wild Kratts which features Kratt brothers Martin and Chris in various wild animal related adventure. The brothers are animated and one is always depicted wearing green and the other wears blue.



For the record, here is a picture of Chris Kratt.


This morning, Daniel was watching PBS - Sesame Street this time - and discovered that there is a character on that show named Chris. Daniel watched for a while and then came over to explain to me that, because the Chris-es have the same name, they have different colored shirts. The different colored shirts eliminate the confusion one might encounter in dealing with two individuals of the same name. It is, he explained, how we can tell them apart from each other.

And a side-by-side comparison, just in case.



Isn't PBS thoughtful? :)

Hilarious. I was unclear about the Chris's until Daniel's wisdom cleared things up for me.

We used to watch the Kratz's when the older two were younger. They rock.
