Before we start, a speckled shout out to Sarah in Northampton, Massachusetts. We hear you love laughing and learning at the same time, which makes you a perfect Who Smarted listener. Keep on laughing and learning smarty pants.

And now let’s connect the dots with some questions about freckles. First question, what causes freckles to appear? Is it A, too much sleep? B, sun exposure? Or C, eating carrots? Did you go with B? Absolutely correct.

Freckles appear when skin is exposed to sunlight, which triggers melanin production. Next question, what’s another name for freckles? Is it A, liver spots? B, birthmarks? Or C, effelities? Did you choose C?

Spot on. Effelities is the scientific term for freckles. Last question, are freckles permanent? A, yes, always. B, no, never. Or C, they can fade in winter. Did you select C? Exactly right. Freckles often fade during winter months when there’s less sun exposure.

Fantastic freckling, smarty pants. You’ve shown a clear complexion of knowledge. Be sure to join us next Thursday for more speckled facts and fun. Oh, want to explore more about what makes you unique?

Don’t miss our freckles episode in the Who Smarted archives. Thanks for playing, smarty pants. Keep your curiosity as numerous as freckles and your knowledge as bright as the sun. Hola, bonjour. Hello, ni hao, chao.
