(she's no expert, but she did stay at a holiday inn once...)For a (almost) five year old, Sarah really has become quite authoritative on a few subjects lately. The topics in my van today really demonstrated her know-how on some really deep stuff...
On farming:
Hannah: "Do eggs come from chickens?"
Mommy: "Yes"
Hannah: "Do they come out when they poo?"
Sarah: "That's silly Hannah, of course not! They shoot out their poo-poo holes when they're not pooping! If they did it when they poo, it would be gross!"
On Undertaking:
Sarah: "What's that place over there?"
Mommy: "A cemetary. It's where they bury dead bodies after someone dies"
Hannah: "What?!"
Mommy: "Some people want to have their bodies preserved after they die, so they have their bodies put in a special box called a coffin and then they're buried underground"
Sarah: "Yeah, and it's real hard. You have to be REAL careful to put the bodies in the boxes cuz they're real fragile. If you're not careful, the bodies will break apart into lots of little peices, then it's real messy and you have to put each peice in the box one at a time before you bury it."
On Zookeeping:
Mommy: "We're going into the petting zoo, but be careful not to run after the animals because you'll scare them"
Sarah: "I know Mommy, there's a special way to go up to the animals... you have to tiptoe and sneak up on 'em, and then when you're close enough, grab 'em and run before they freak out!"
p.s. sorry about the wierd spacing... for some reason blogger keeps switching my formatting to this spacing style, grr
ReplyDeleteBaahahahahahaaa!! I especially love the one about the zoos!
ReplyDeleteWe have chickens if you ever want them to come to the island and visit them. They could collect the eggs and carry them around since ours are tame. Maybe this summer, then you can pick peaches, apples, or grapes while you are at it! Or ride the ferry!

That sounds like lots of fun, we'd love to do that sometime!
