So ever since Iris was born, she has sneezed when she first goes outside in the sunlight. I think it is SUPER cute, and it makes her laugh. Well, the other day while she was napping in my arms (read..I wasn't able to put her down without waking her, so I was playing on my phone.), I did a Google search for sneezing in sunlight. I was surprised to learn that this little quirk has a name - photic sneeze reflex. It's genetic and scientists have been unable to explain it. Aristotle even wrote about it! Who knew?!?
There's your fun fact for the day!
