Funny kids

A few minutes after Kelton came home from school, he sighed and said:

"I just don't know what we will be eating for Thanksgiving!"
Me:  "Well, I can tell you what we will eat."
Kelton, very excited: "Stir Fry?!"

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that won't make the menu.  That has been his favorite meal for a while, and I guess he just dared hope for a minute that maybe the biggest, best, maybe even most American meal of the year would be... stir fry.

Natalie was assigned a school project involving pilgrims.  She was doing some research after school and afterward, she asked me how long ago plastic was invented.  I told her I didn't know and would have to look it up, but that the pilgrims didn't have it (I don't think...).  She then asked about metal.  I told her they had metal, and that the difference between the two is that metal is naturally found on the earth and plastic isn't.  Plastic is man-made.  To which Natalie replies:

"You mean this... (holding up a My Little Pony) was made by boys?"
Me, laughing: "Natalie, 'man-made' means it was made by people.  Not necessarily by boys."
Natalie, now also laughing and feeling a bit silly: "Oh, please tell me you aren't going to post that on the blog!"
