What is a geoduck?

This is our trivia question of the day.
I asked Chris, "What is a geo-duck?" We didn't know, so we looked at the answer. It's a type of clam.
Saja said, "Ooh, a clam!"
I said, "You don't even know what a clam is!" She insisted she did.
I said, "No, you don't! Where does a clam live?"
She said, "In the water!" And then she burst into laughter when she saw my shocked face. I guess she learned that from Spongebob. She IS a sponge!
Fact is, it's called a {gooey-duck} and it has a neck that can stretch several feet (which looked pretty funny to Saja--feet coming out of its neck?!)
It's funny how kids think. It makes me smile. And I like to smile.
