Pts! Hey, smarty pants. Listen.

Can you guess where I am? Did you say the great outdoors? Or my backyard? I'll accept either of those answers.

And how great is it to be outside on a beautiful, bright, sunny day?

Not only does it feel good, it's good for you.

Did you know your body actually produces a vitamin when exposed to sunlight?

Whoa.

Any guess what vitamin it is? Is it A, B, C, or D?

If you said vitamin D, you're right. Incredibly, it only takes 15 minutes of sunshine to provide you with nearly all the vitamin D that you need for the day. Of course,

we humans aren't the only ones who need sunlight. Who else needs sunlight, smarty pants?

Call out your answers. I heard some people say animals. Sure, many animals need sunlight to stay warm.

I heard someone say their solar-powered calculator. Sure, sure. But what's something that

absolutely requires sunlight to survive? Yep, I heard a lot of you say it. Plants.

So, dude. You mind taking a step back? You're blocking my rays. Huh? Who said that? Down here, man.

Um, all I see is a sunflower?

Yeah, man.

That's me.

I'm sunny.

Groovy to meet you, man.

But you're still jamming my light.

Oops.

Sorry.

How's that?
