It seems that bedtime is the perfect conversation time. Just when we are ready to settle down, the twins come up with thousands of interesting things they have to tell us. Last night's bedtime conversation began with McKallum telling us that "everyone has a skeleton...that a skeleton is made of bones and keeps us standing up....without a skeleton we would be a blob of skin on the ground."
It continued with McKenna saying, "Mommy,if you put your hands on your face you can feel your bones, except on your nose and ears....They are like a shark....They are made of cartilage!"
Skeleton ???
Cartilage ????????
When I was four I was not talking about skeletons and cartilage...I didn't even know what these things were. Whatever happened to Dick, Jane and Spot? Where did four year olds obtain such knowledge? When did being four change? What happened to trucks, Barbies and just being a kid? It's a little nerve racking to think about the future. If they know these facts at four what will they know at age twelve? At age eighteen? It should be interesting!
good piece
