Here's a conversation between Macy and I last night while I was giving her a bath:
Me: "Ha, I squirted you with Gabriel's turtle!"
Macy: "Aunt Kim, dat's not a turtle."
Me: "Yes, it is."
Macy: "No, it's not. It's a snail."
Me: "No, Macy. Look at it closer. It's a turtle."
Macy: "Aunt Kim, turtles have shells that lay fwat over their backs. Snails have shells behind them that go in a circle."
Moments of silence pass.
Me: "Gabriel will be so happy to find out he has a snail."
Kim, are ya tellin' us that you didn't know it was a snail?
ReplyDeleteYep. We've been calling it a turtle for over a year.
ReplyDeleteI asked Alex and he said "A snail." I said "How do you know?"
ReplyDeleteHe said "Because it has no legs!"
(once again in the voice indicating I was an idiot for not noticing).
Another really good point. I'm thinking I need to fine tune my powers of observation.
