"Dwagons eat dedephants."

Picking Anna and Topher up from daycare (Hi Sibyl!) the other day, there were cows in the field beside the road. This is the conversation that followed.

Anna:  Cows, daddy!  Cows!  (now I don't know why this was exciting, since we have cows as neighbors on two sides of our house and they even sometimes escape into our yard, but there must have been something really special about these bovine beauties.)  Cows, daddy!  Cows!

Rob:  What do cows say?

Anna:  Maaoooooooooooooo!

Rob:  What do cows eat?

Anna:  Ummmm.....

Rob:  Where do they live?  Do they live in the field?

Anna:  UmHmmm.

Rob:  So what do they eat?

Anna:  ::looks around::  ummmmm.... grass!

Rob:  That's right!  What do lions eat?

 Anna:  RAWR!  Trees!  RAWR!  

Rob:  Noooo.  Lions eat other animals.  Little ones.  Like goats and ponies.  (Really Rob?  You want to go there?  Do you know what you're getting yourself into?)  What do dragons eat?

Anna:  Dwagons eat Dedephants!  

Rob:  What does daddy eat?  

Anna:  Horses!

Rob:  What does mama eat?

Rob:  What does Topher eat?

Anna:  Chicken nuggets!
