Neighborhood Watch

My little material scientist is turning into a social butterfly. Whereas she used to ask "what is it made of?" "what does it feel like?" "how does it taste?" "what happens when I bend it?" "can I clank these two things together?", now it is all about people and participation. The burning questions now seem to be "who is that?" "what are they saying?" "is that funny?" "why won't you listen to me?" "doesn't his beard look suspicious?" "what are you eating and why aren't you letting me eat that too?".
