Out of the mouths of babes

Wisdom of the day from Morgan:

"Condors don't fly when the sun goes down."

And she tried to tell her teacher that the bird on the Mexican flag (for cinco de Mayo) is a condor, not an eagle.

Your post suddenly reminded me of when my family was walking along the beach one night. My younger sister, then aged 3, eyed the darkness warily before tugging on my mother's sleeve and asking, "Is there sea at night?" Being unable to see the sea which had merged in blackness with the night sky, she was suddenly unsure whether it was still there.

Kids have the best logic.

A week or two ago we were on a nature walk with my dad and his golden retriever.

"The woods are very scary," says Morgan.

"Why, honey?"

"There's dragons."

"Oh, well, Rusty's really good at scaring away dragons. He'll keep us safe."

"Yeah, Rusty take care of the dragons."

Yes, it's fascinating to see how her little mind works.
