We were driving home from Grandma's today. Adam was zonking out in his carseat. He was a whirlwind until the very last second, as usual when he's getting tired. Natalia noticed a manure spreader driving through the glistening snow-covered field we were passing, and asked why they were doing that. I briefly explained why they needed to get rid of the manure that was in the barn.
"Mom, do all animals poop?"
(Here we go. Potty conversation #5, 934. This is my life.)
"Yes, Natalia. All animals poop."
"Do barns poop?"
"No, barns are objects made of wood. They are not living things. Living things need to breathe, and eat, and sleep......and poop."
"Do bears need to poop?"
"Yes, bears are living things."
"Is my winter hat a living thing?"
"No, your hat is an object, not a living thing."
"Then why does it hibernate in the closet until next winter?"Ummmmmmm.....

Smart girl. She may be a poet one day, using "hibernate" in that context. It actually works.
Very smart girl indeed!
We have had a few of these conversations, too, but not as many as you.

We have lots of "Is ________alive?" conversations at our house.
Too funny!!! What a thinker!
This cracked me up! The things that come out of our children's mouths! Thanks for sharing!
