Overheard....

Andrew: Mom, don't put that sneeze stuff in the present bag.
Steph: Sneeze stuff?
Andrew: You know, the stuff you blow your nose into.
Steph: A kleenex?
Andrew: No, the other word.
Steph: A tissue?
Andrew: Yep, the tissue paper.

We live a mile and a half from a dairy farm, which we drive past a few times a week. As with most young kids and animals, you are always asking them what sounds the animals make, and with a few we animals we talk about what they produce or provide for us. A few years ago, we toured a dairy farm where they told the kids that brown, or jersey cows, make a creamier milk, which in turn produces a better ice cream. The following conversation was between Zach and I as we were driving past the dairy farm one morning.
Zach: What do cows make?
Steph: Milk
Zach: What do brown cows make?
Steph: Ice Cream
Zach: What do bees make?
Steph: Honey
Zach: What do fly's make?
Steph: Nothing. Fly's don't make anything.
Zach: Yes they do, they make peanut butter!
Hmmmm...... ok Zach.

Your kids crack me up. And if Zach finds PB made by flies, it is all his!
