All in the power of touch

[7yo comes running inside, I tell her it's bathtime]

7yo: But we found a grasshopper or a locust outside!
me: How do you know it's a grasshopper or locust?
7yo: Because it looks like one!
me: Why don't you look up pictures on the internet and see if you can tell the difference.

[We go to 7yo's room, she grabs a small paintbrush]

me: ...what are you doing?
7yo [holding up paintbrush]: Scientists have discovered it's all in the power of touch! And they used a paintbrush!

[7yo scurries back outside leaving me puzzled]
