IT'S WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE APES

You and I may try opening a piece of candy by pulling on the ends of the wrapper and letting it twist open. Not Tobin. I've witnessed him trying to open a similarly wrapped piece of candy using his teeth. To gnaw through the plastic wrapper.

He does many thing with his mouth that the rest of us would generally use some other appendage to accomplish differently. For instance, you probably erase a chalkboard with an eraser. Why not use your tongue like Tobin?

Do you take Legos apart with your hands? Tobin [and I, actually] would argue that using your teeth may be a better bet.

I could go on, but I think I've painted the picture I was going for. I've used my hands to paint this picture...Tobin would have used his mouth.

    I've witnessed the lego and the chalkboard use of the tongue. And I can image he uses those chompers and his tongue for many other things. Well, one positive is he probably will be one of the healthiest in the family when it comes to getting germs. I'm sure a lot of them are in his system by now.
