mmm breakfast does a body good

OK... So this morning Little Bit and I had an interesting conversation, while dining over a yummie breakfast of homemade French toast, which half my family decided they no longer eat French toast and I wish they had told me before I spent the morning making it but then again they will want it tomorrow because they will totally be in love with the French toast again, but I digress.

Back to the story, the conversation:

Little Bit: "Mom, do you know how the Dragon Lizard defends itself?"

She's grabbing at her eyes. I really don't know how they defend themselves, so I have images of maybe they close their eyes tight and pretend they are not there and hope no one sees them or maybe they close their eyes to keep the sand and dirt out...i really don't know...

Me: "I don't know. How do they defend themselves?"

Little Bit grabs at her eyes some more and makes the motions, "They squirt Blood out their eyes!!!!"

Me: "What?"

Little Bit: "Yep. They squirt Blood out of their eyes!!!"

She's so proud to have grossed her mom out first thing in the morning, that Big Kid pipes in, "Yeah, Mom. They really do that. I learned that in like first grade."

Little Bit: "Yeah, Mrs. Teacher told me. We learned it in class."

O.K. So, my kid's are learning stuff. And yet, i'm not super excited.
