Three Boys and a Girl

Monday, August 31, 2009

Jonathan came up to me the other day and asked, "Mom, what's the slowest animal on the earth?" followed by, " ...should I ask Dad that question?"

I really had to laugh. He knows that I refer him to John for all the tough questions, and he thought if this one was too hard for me, he'd just cut to the chase. Very funny. What can I say, John's a genius, and everyone in the family knows it. :)

    Chrisine-
    Girl, I can totally relate. Hello..John and Corby are two peas in a pod too smart for its own good. My kids will just say "mom...uuhh, I mean Dad.."
    It's all good though. I really don't mind. At least I know they'll be given the RIGHT answer with him :)

    For the record, my first answer was some kind of microscopic bacteria that swims fast for it's size, but from our perspective would be incredibly slow. Pretty smart, right? Then he specified that he was looking for the slowest "large" animal, so I said a tortoise. I thought I did okay, especially since John's answer was an elephant. Maybe Mom did okay after all. :)

    My first thought was a snail...Hey, how about posting some new pictures of the kids possibly?? I know that's easy for me to say, but it would be fun for all to see :)
