Impromptu Kitchen Table Science

This is the fifth day of flu for Lu, but today he's more up and about.
I came downstairs and found this happening on the kitchen table...

And here's a close-up of our little friend.

Which end is its head?

By the way he moves, 

we could tell that the larger, rounder end was indeed its head.

And this is Lu's - 

OMG-I-just-had-the-best-idea-EVER-!-

Mama-can-I-keep-him-as-a-pet-? 

face.

I was hoping that we'd maybe get a math class in today since Lu was feeling better, but it never happened. I suppose I could count this as science... or photography?
