If It Hasn't Happened to You Yet, I Swear It Will

A conversation I had with Chloe yesterday while I was driving and she was reading a book:

Chloe- "Mommy, this book says that jellyfish were alive even before dinosaurs".
Me- "No they weren't".
Chloe- "Yes, they were mommy, this book says so".
Me- "Chloe, God created everything in 7 days so they were all alive at the same time".
Chloe- "Mommy, this book was written by a pro-fes-sion-al".

Yes she did carefully sound out every syllable for me. And yes, you will have those conversations with your kids, just wait. It's kind of fun actually- except for the "hey-you-have-no-idea-what-you're-talking-about" tone that she gets sometimes. But we're past the strictly little kid stuff into the analyzing and reasoning part that I really appreciate about my kiddos.
