Conversations with a 4 year old...

Well, I am still alive...it has been hectic in our home over the last few weeks...lots and lots to post about...but I think I will start with the conversation my daughter and I had over breakfast this morning...we were eating eggs (from my dad's chicken coop) and bacon...it went something like this: (caution:do not read if you are easily offended by the word "poop")

• me: are your eggs good?
• Liv: yes - do eggs come from chickens?
• Me: yes...
• Liv: do chickens poop?
• me: (choking on my eggs) um...yes, they do
• Liv: do they poop in the grass?
• me: yes
• Liv: why do they poop in the grass?
• me: because they are animals
• Liv: do they wipe their bottoms?
• me: (trying not to laugh now) no, they don't
• Liv: why not?
• me: because they are animals
• Liv...pondering for just a moment...
• Liv: did you know that horses poop?
• me: yes
• Liv: well, did you know that they wipe?
• me: they do, how do they do that?
• Liv: with their long horse tails!!!

Life is good!!!
