The following is a very random conversation I had with my six year old niece tonight:
Niece: Over the year, what have you learned about dogs?"
Me: Well, I learned they come in all shapes and sizes...
Niece: Wrong!! They come in all sizes but only one shape.
Me: Only one shape?
Niece: Yes! The shape of a dog!
Me: Oh, I didn't realize a dog was a shape.
Niece: Well, they aren't triangles!
Me: True.
Niece: What else have you learned?
Me: I learned that dogs are fun to play with.
Niece: Not always.
Me: No?
Niece: No. Some dogs just aren't playable.
Me: Oh...
Niece: Over the year, what have you learned about frogs?
Me: Well, I learned that they are green.
Niece: Yes.
Me: I learned that they have really long tongues and like to eat flies.
Niece: Yes.
Me: I learned that if I kiss one it will turn into a prince.
Niece: No.
Me: NO?!? But that's what the story says!
Niece: Well...that story is wrong.
