One more for the road

We were reading bedtime books and one had Mortie and Ferdie on a farm, then swimming in a lake.

Odessa: We eat pigs and chickens, do we eat lambs?

Me: Well, some people do, but not us.

Odessa: Why not?

Me: It's too expensive. (we're not going to go into my history with 4-H lambs)

Odessa: Do we eat horses?

Me: No! Now, let's finish this story.

later~

Odessa (looking at Mortie and Ferdie swimming): Are there sharks and whales and fishes that eat people in the water?

Me: Well, maybe some fish, but none that eat people.

Odessa: Well, do sharks eat us?

Me: No, not very often.

Odessa: Are we too expensive?

We had a good laugh about this one at our house. :) I can't wait to chronicle these sorts of convos with my boys. The only one we've had so far is Nathan's confusion about hot dogs - whenever we've given him one, he confusedly goes "woof woof?"
